Rai world / Events and news

The fourth episode of ‘The Band’, the new Rai 1 talent, produced in collaboration with Palomar Entertainment, will be broadcast tomorrow at 21.25. As always, Carlo Conti will be in charge, accompanied by the super jury made up of Carlo Verdone, Gianna Nannini and Asia Argento. This is the penultimate appointment with the talent in view of the final on May 20. And therefore the points at stake on this occasion will be worth even more for the 8 competing groups. There are those who will have the opportunity to confirm the excellent placement achieved so far or those who will try, with a swipe of the tail, to re-enter the competition to win the title of ‘Band of the Year’. Certainly up to now inside the Verdi theater in Montecatini we have witnessed the triumph of live music thanks to truly extraordinary performances brought to the stage by the protagonists who ‘take the field’ with the desire to entertain and have fun. The pairings: Giusy Ferreri-Cherry Bombs, Irene Grandi-N’ice Cream, Dolcenera-Anxya Lyitics, Federico Zampaglione-JF Band, Marco Masini-Mons, Francesco Sarcina-Living Dolls, Rocco Tanica-Achtung Babies, Enrico Nigiotti-Isoladellerose. The third episode was won by the Isoladellerose group with ‘Credimi Ancora’ by Marco Mengoni, followed by Achtung Babies who presented ‘Ordinary world’ by Duran Duran, and by the JF Band with ‘A summer ago’ by Franco Califano. But they all showed great progress thanks to the valuable advice of the tutors and, why not, of the 3 judges. In this fourth episode, anything can happen again. Nothing is decided yet, surprises could be around the corner. We remind you that the evaluation is double: not only Verdone, Nannini and Argento will vote, but also the tutors themselves, who, however, will not be able to express themselves on their own band. From the point of view of comedy, it is the Boilers (Federico Basso and Davide Paniate) who entertain the public and viewers in the guise of unlikely journalists. After the success of the first edition, from tomorrow, at 11.15 pm on Rai 3, Maurizio Costanzo and Pino Strabioli return to tell the great protagonists of the twentieth century Italian show in “I knew them well” in an unusual and surprising way. Strabioli, a refined connoisseur of theater and entertainment, stimulates the personal and unpublished memories of Costanzo, whom those great characters “knew well” and frequented for a long time. An exciting conversation, with guests and first-hand testimonies, enriched by precious videos, with the inevitable contribution of the Rai Teche archive. During the six episodes of the program, the human and professional events of unforgettable but still very topical characters such as Vittorio Gassman (who will be remembered in the first episode), Sandra Mondaini and Raimondo Vianello, Walter Chiari, Gabriella Ferri, Federico Fellini, Elio Pandolfi are retraced. Following a special Canadian edition of Appleton’s Railway Guide published at the end of the 19th century, in “Next Stop America” ​​broadcast tomorrow at 8.15 pm on Rai 5, Michael Portillo arrives in Canada and, along the Saint Lawrence River, reaches Montreal, the city more “European” than North America. It will be an opportunity to focus on the origins of the particular ethnic composition of the country, in which different souls and cultural identities coexist, such as the Francophone and the Anglophone. In addition to Montreal, the train will take Portillo to Vaudreuil, Alexandria and Ottawa, the capital, but not before an extraordinary stop at the Cirque du Soleil headquarters. Express’Continua, tomorrow at 21.20 on Rai 4 (digital terrestrial channel 21), the appointment with the Ip Man cycle, centered on one of the greatest legends in the history of martial arts.

Based on the novel of the same name by Agatha Christie, the film is the second film adaptation of the book after the one of the same name in 1974 directed by Sidney Lumet. Hercule Poirot is urgently awaited in London and immediately finds accommodation, luxury and comfort on the Orient Express, but an avalanche and a murder soon interrupt his little pleasures, reading Dickens and the symmetry of the eggs in the morning. Mister Bouc, the director of the train worried about the police and the scandal, asks Poirot to solve the case. Stuck with thirteen passengers, all suspects, the famous detective improvises an investigation that will lead him where not even he had foreseen. The cast formed by Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Judy Dench, Willem Dafoe and Olivia Colman is very rich. What does Dante Alighieri see around him when he conceives the Divine Comedy? The documentary “Dante’s eyes”, broadcast tomorrow at 7.15 pm on Rai 5, tells the story. No autographed writings remain about Dante, the documents concerning him are rare. Little is known about the life spent in Florence. Little of the twenty years spent in exile. His works remain and among these the Commedia stands out, a unique work in the history of world literature for the subject matter, the quality of the poetic writing, the perfect compositional structure. But above all the work deals with universal themes: the meaning of existence, the reasons for pain and evil, the relationship between freedom of choice and the randomness of destiny. To these crucial questions Dante finds the strongest answer in the men and women he meets along his journey: ruthless leaders, passionate and free women, betrayed emperors, generous friends, corrupt clerics. Around these encounters Dante builds a universe of images made up of places, events and things he has seen and experienced as works of art, cities, landscapes, natural phenomena, historical events and moments of everyday life. The Comedy tells the life of its creator through images. In the documentary, the visions of Dante’s eyes make up an unpublished portrait of the most complex soul of the Middle Ages. Gastroenteritis and heart health at ‘Elisir’ on Rai3 – On Rai Storia ‘The worlds of yesterday’ medicine conducted by Michele Mirabella and Benedetta Rinaldi, broadcast tomorrow at 10.35 on Rai 3, will deal with gastroenteritis: how to understand if it is viral or bacterial?

Finally, in the space “being and well-being” we talk about the importance of a good quality of life for the multiple sclerosis patient. Answering the questions of the conductors Marco Salvetti, director of Neurology at the Sant’Andrea Hospital in Rome. What do the events of history teach, even after a long time? A question that accompanies the fifteen episodes of “The worlds of yesterday”, the new program hosted by Edoardo Camurri, broadcast from tomorrow at 21.10 on Rai Storia. In each episode, two guests alternate who, with the help of video documents and archive images, reason together with Edoardo Camurri on a moment in our history that continues to make people understand something of our times. The first episode features the most important innovations that marked the experience of the Kennedy presidency, analyzed with the historians of the United States Massimo Teodori and Elisabetta Vezzosi, and with extracts from the doc “Journey in memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy” by Francesco Conversano and Nene Grignaffini. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the youngest president elected by the American people, in just under three years changed the language of American democracy, imposed the need for a president in constant contact with the media. The Catholic Kennedy told in his foreign policy choices (the Cuban crisis, Vietnam, the trip to Berlin) and in those of internal politics, first of all the battle for civil rights, up to the tragic death in Dallas and the theories conspiracy theorists born around his killing. With years of conflict, a severe economic recession and steadily rising food prices since 2020, the Ukrainian crisis is exacerbating the already alarming scenario of food security in Syria.
