He has played the "I'm dying" card for years, but it's probably time to start to consider him seriously. Emilio Fede currently hospitalised for routine check-ups, hoaxes about his death circulated this week in Italy. The man himself says he has never been better. How is this creep still alive?

drol 11,953 Posted September 11 I'd like to spend some more words for Luca Giurato. He was a national icon, a cultural phenomenon. And not because he was particularly good; he was always mediocre at best. He rose to cult status thanks to his continuous malapropisms and involuntary comicity. He was a meme before everyone knew the word "meme". Just to remember him, he once had in the studio the president of Italian deaf mute association. He introduced him, then said "Hear, in a few words, of course, can you speak about...." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sugested Ornella Vanoni a few Times over the year. L’appuntamento and Anche Se were two of my favs of her which I used to listen to on repeat when living in Italy for a year. I think She looked frail on her last appearances at San Remo and on Instagram but, as for Loren, it’s hard to tell with that much plastic surgery… anyway, both of them will stay on my list for next year (considering I didn’t drop Ornella ? I’m not sur and my signature doesn’t show on my phone) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
