«Maybe I exaggerated. But risk includes a dose of courage."
Forte e Chiara , Chiara Francini ‘s TV programme , was cancelled , of which only two of the three scheduled episodes were broadcast. It was the fault of too low ratings – they said from Viale Mazzini – confirming the potential of the project which, despite conveying important and original values, ” has not, however, produced the desired results” . Ritual thanks for the presenter, who «confirmed that she is a great artist by accepting the challenge of bringing this idea of herself to the prime time of Rai 1».
On Instagram, some of the audience complained about the difficulty of following the show, which often lacks a logical thread, while others praised Francini’s skill, which some considered out of place in a program of that type. The actress, for her part, put her face to it until the end, with a long social post. “Ladies, gentlemen and everything in between, we didn’t go easy. Sorry if we were too strong like a gin and tonic without tonic “, began Chiara Francini. «With Forte and Chiara we tried to put together cardinals and porn stars, ballets with feathers and stories of children in a concentration camp, cartoon songs and drag queens in the same show. Maybe I exaggerated. But risk includes a dose of courage. We end here, with a well-feathered guitar playing. Let’s take it as a diet: instead of one size less, one bet less. But even if more subtle, the joy, the passion, the desire to tell will continue to feed us with large spoonfuls. I thank all those who loved and didn’t love my show, I’ll wait for the first ones at the theater, the others… too. Gourmets.” An ironic and subtle exit, in true Francini style.
