Seasons
Season 1
Splendida Cornice is a prime time people show in which the presenter Geppi Cucciari addresses culture lightly and with the irony that distinguishes her. The Sardinian actress and comedian will start from the people, from their stories, from the news of the week and from its interpreters, from small pearls of every form of art that deserve a spotlight and a look that is sometimes amused, sometimes complicit, but always curious . There will be a voting public, divided into demographic categories that will track the consumption of Italians to learn about their events and cultural predilections. There will be a professor who, shouting #primalitaliano, will monitor the grammatical adequacy of hosts and guests. A service band, or "disservice", will mark the rhythms of organized improvisation. There will be guests who can bring a high topic to an understandable level. We will talk about the most read book, the emptiest theatre, but inappropriately.
Season 2
Geppi Cucciari returns with a new edition of "Splendida Cornice". Two and a half hours of cultural entertainment, escape, popularisation, satire. And of contamination: high and low, humor and knowledge, culture and lack of culture. All ingredients of a surprising story, even for those who make it. Guests of the episode Luciano Ligabue with his latest album "Dedicato a noi", the actor Francesco Montanari, the journalist and literary critic Piero Dorfles, the composer and pianist Remo Anzovino, the Spanish presenter Lorena Berdún, popularizer of sexual freedom and exceptionally, given the very rare presences on TV, Cirque du Soleil is on tour in Italy with their new show OVO: a grandiose and exciting show for families, full of colors and moments of spectacular magic thanks to the very talented artists who bring acrobatic numbers to the stage.
Season 3
Geppi Cucciari returns to prime time with a new edition of Splendida Cornice.
