Stefano De Martino, Grandfather’s Bar Stella, on Rai2

“Today everyone for shows and programs tends to use superlatives, such as exceptional, exclusive. I have been wondering about this for some time, I have an incredible need today for normality. When I come home I want to relax, to go back to the ordinary, so I said to myself, why not draw on those places of childhood “. And Rai2 is now home for the conductor Stefano De Martino who, after being at the helm of Made in Sud and Tonight Everything is Possible, is back on the air with a program of his own, “Bar Stella”: original ‘place’, ready to host and entertain the public with his bizarre crowd of customers. The former dancer of Maria de Filippi’s “friends”, talks about himself during rehearsals in a conversation with ANSA: “We will be on the air for four Tuesdays from 28 December at 22.50 from the Rai headquarters in Naples: a carousel of chatter, irony , colors, quotes, tributes, songs. The title is a tribute to the grandfather’s place, indeed it was opened by my great-grandfather in 1922 Don Michele in Torre Annunziata. ” The motive of the show is romantic and nostalgic but collected, we will not have Stratospheric but intimate scenography. Grandfather kept me with him, dad worked. The bar has closed. There is no one left. But it was an important point of reference: Torre Annunziata – remembers De Martino – had a golden period, great artists passed through here, who after their shows stopped with friends, or their companies, including Claudio Villa, Little Tony, Mario Merola, Roberto Murolo, I remember one evening Corrado, crazy people did a little show in the center of the room which was very spacious sone came to see the games, but also Leave or double “. Now the Bar Stella reopens on TV Stefano de Martino who is the author and wrote the program explains: “I gave the set designers Cappellini and Licheri some objects from the place, a few that I found but good”. The conductor is keen to say that he has no exclusive guests “, but friends who come to visit us. And then we have the Desperata Erotica Band directed by maestro Pino Perris. Lucio Dalla was right to say that” the exceptional feat, listen to me, is be normal and I would add especially in these times “. (ANSA).
