L’altra domenica ("Another Side of Sunday") was an Italian Sunday afternoon variety show, broadcast on Rai 2 between 1976 and 1979. It is regarded as one of the most innovative shows in Italian television. This show saw Milly Carlucci make her debut.
Background
[edit]Created and hosted by Renzo Arbore, it was inspired by Arbore's radio program Alto gradimento.[1][2] During its first season, the program alternated serious football reports with variety show, then from the second season it focused on humor.[1] Its cast included Roberto Benigni playing a surrealistic cinematographic critic, Andy Luotto, Maurizio Nichetti (who also cured with Guido Manuli some animated segments), the trans-gender musical group Sorelle Bandiera, whose song "Fatti più in là" they launched in the show became a hit, Giorgio Bracardi and Milly Carlucci.[1][2] Isabella Rossellini, Mario Marenco and Michel Pergolani cured semi-serious live reports from New York City, Rome and London.[1][2] The show was the first Italian live program to use telephone to interact with its audience, in this case through a humorous quiz.[1][2] It has been referred to as "a breath of fresh air for the intelligent and the curious" and "a monument in Italian television history".[2]
