Fabio Fazio
Fabio Fazio (born November 30, 1964 in Savona ) is an Italian television presenter .
Life
He started out in 1982 as an impersonator on a broadcast on the RAI state radio . He also made his television debut with RAI in 1983 when he was included in the moderation team in Raffaella Carrà's program “Pronto Raffaella”. After assisting Loretta Goggi in her entertainment and quiz programs in 1984 and 1985 , he moderated various children's and youth programs from 1985 onwards .
From 1987 to 1990 he hosted a sports program on the private broadcaster Odeon TV together with the then soccer goalkeeper Walter Zenga . From 1990 he also worked for the private broadcaster Telemontecarlo . At the same time, he continued to work for the state broadcaster RAI.
His real breakthrough came in 1993 with the program “Quelli che il calcio…” on Rai Due, which he realized and moderated . The program, which is conceived as a mixture of sports, entertainment and talk shows, is based on the Serie A football games played on Sunday afternoons , which guests from the film, music and show business and cultural sectors can watch live in the studio on their own monitors. At the same time, other guests who are included in the broadcast with live broadcasts follow the games in the relevant stadiums. Actual scenes from the soccer games are not shown due to a lack of rights. The show developed into the third force in the Sunday afternoon television program, which had been dominated by Rai Uno and Canale 5 up until then, and achieved great audience success thanks to popular and sometimes top-class guests, among other things. Fabio Fazio moderated the show until 2001, when he left the RAI and the show was transferred to Simona Ventura .
In the meantime, Fabio Fazio has realized various projects, including the film “Pole Pole”, which was made in support of the African Medical and Research Foundation and shown out of competition at the Venice International Film Festival in 1996 .
Another popular success was the 1997 entertainment program "Anima mia", which was realized and moderated together with Claudio Baglioni . It was conceived as a revival of the 1970s and continued in 1999 as "L'ultimo Valzer".
Subsequently, Fabio Fazio experienced the climax of his professional career with the two-time moderation of the Sanremo Festival in 1999 and 2000 . Fabio Fazio set striking contrasts in the two editions that clearly differed from the traditional and, in some cases, protocol-based editions of the festival to date. He included personalities such as Luciano Pavarotti and the two Nobel Prize winners Renato Dulbecco and Michail Gorbatschow in the program. The two editions achieved record ratings .
In 2001 Fabio Fazio left the state broadcaster RAI and switched to the private broadcaster LA7 , which is trying to establish itself as the third force in the television market dominated by the RAI- Mediaset duopoly . In 2003 Fabio Fazio returned to the RAI and has since hosted the talk show “Che tempo che fa” on Rai 3 .
In November 2010, Fabio Fazio hosted the four-part program “Vieni via con me” (German: “Come away with me”) on Rai 3 together with Roberto Saviano . The program, in which numerous personalities read a list on various, sometimes controversial, topics, proved to be a great success with the public. The third broadcast on November 23, 2010 had an average viewership of 9.7 million people, with a peak of 11.4 million viewers and an audience rate of over 43 percent. “Vieni via con me” thus achieved the highest audience rating ever achieved on Rai 3 since it was surveyed.
Awards
During his professional career, Fabio Fazio has received various awards. Among other things, he was awarded the Telegatto television prize in 1994 for “Quelli che il calcio ...” and the È giornalismo journalist prize in 2007 for “Che tempo che fa” .
Private
Fabio Fazio is married and has one daughter. He maintained a close friendship with the journalist Enzo Biagi and was also the only RAI presenter to whom Biagi granted a television interview during his five-year absence from the public service channels , which was forced by Silvio Berlusconi .
