How many stories does a dean of our television like Maurizio Costanzo have to tell? Simple and infinite. Its cult programme, the Maurizio Costanzo Show, has gone through several generations, remaining constant over time and reaching the historic milestone of 40 years of broadcasting. Since 1982, the Roman journalist has been meeting guests and analyzing the news with his own format. Precisely for this reason, after such a long interlude, Costanzo has decided to dedicate an important space to the show in his new book “Smemorabilia / Sentimental Catalog of Lost Objects”, published by Mondadori, written with Valerio de Filippis. The dedication is really special: “Chez Parioli with the Maurizio Costanzo Show, after 40 years: 1982-2022 and let’s not waste a drop. I dedicate this book to Alberto Silvestri, Paolo Pietrangeli, Luisella Testa, Franco Bracardi”. A series of balance sheets and definitive balance sheets of what has been, of a very brilliant era of Italy and its narrator.

Having to deal with power and money, however, did not change Costanzo at his word.
“I never wanted to get rich for fun. I also handled large sums. But in the end my relationship with money is minimal. I need it to live well. I don’t waste it”. In an interview granted to the weekly 7 of Corriere della Sera he then adds: “I burned a lot of money for the Parioli theater and its management. Once I had to sell a house to pay off debts. But I would gladly lose that money.”
Also very interesting is a love background, which relates to his experiences with women.
“Decades ago I had an affair with a married woman. The husband filed a complaint, the carabinieri arrived. Luckily we were dressed. They did the famous hand test under the sheets to see if the bed was warm. The test failed, no complaints. I was free. What madness…”. Obviously now the most important person in her life is Maria De Filippi: “For me, Maria lives”.
