Fabio Fazio Quotes

(About the COVID-19 pandemic) It has become clear that those who do not pay taxes are not only committing a crime but also a felony: if there are not enough beds and ventilators, it is also their fault.

Everything that makes life beautiful is considered a luxury: knowledge is a luxury; and beauty is the future of knowledge. This is the only thing that makes things beautiful or ugly: if you know, if you are aware. Globalisation has swept away what has always been a characteristic of human beings: the search for beauty not as pure aestheticism, but on the contrary as self-construction.

Non è che sono cinico, sono ligure. E i liguri hanno un senso pratico delle cose, è inutile far finta...

It's not that I'm cynical, I'm from Liguria. And Ligurians have a practical sense of things, there's no point pretending...

We are using symbolic places for economic exploitation or simply because the architect who works on them will be noticed. It is one thing to prevent Pompeii from collapsing, it is quite another to rebuild it and turn it into Disneyland. It is important to understand the passing of time, the marks left by time. It makes sense to preserve, it makes less sense to improve or update; [...]. Things have value if you can see them with today's eyes, discover if they tell you something.

The line between pop and aesthetic catastrophe is blurred.

There is a two-way relationship between the prime minister and the country. Italy couldn't wait for Berlusconi to come along, and Italy is the way it is because Berlusconi is there.

Siccome in televisione le parole hanno un potere gigantesco, penso che bisogna usarle sempre con rispetto per la persona che hai di fronte e per chi ti ascolta. Buonismo è una definizione stupida, nel senso che è una "semplificazione" stupida, che contesto. Il contrario di buonismo cos'è, essere cattivi e cinici? Per poter avere che cosa, un titolo sul giornale del giorno dopo? Per poter costruire la tua carriera avendo fatto del male a qualcuno? Siamo pieni di sedicenti opinionisti che fanno carriera parlando male degli altri. Nella vita si può essere noti o perché costruisci o perché distruggi.

È diventato evidente che chi non paga le tasse non commette solo un reato ma un delitto: se mancano posti letto e respiratori è anche colpa sua.

I believe that a distinction must be made between enjoyment and exploitation. I am in complete agreement with the enjoyment of a good: beauty must be accessible and enjoyed by those who are interested in it. In my opinion, exploitation implies betrayal, not because it results in economic gain, but because it transforms that place into something else.

'Want to come up for a drink?' 'No, come on, let's fuck here.'

Rodotà è da sempre impegnato per l'affermazione dei diritti di tutti. E i diritti sono il fondamento di ogni gesto e pensiero.

Since words have enormous power on television, I think they should always be used with respect for the person you are addressing and for those who are listening to you. ‘Do-goodism’ is a stupid definition, in the sense that it is a stupid ‘simplification’, which I dispute. What is the opposite of buonismo, being mean and cynical? To get what, a headline in the next day's newspaper? To build your career by hurting someone else? We are full of self-proclaimed opinion makers who make a career out of talking badly about others. In life, you can be famous either because you build something or because you destroy something.

Minions (film) (dubbing into Italian)

I've had enough of Padania. What is it? Where are its borders? I am from Savona, where we speak a different dialect from that of Genoa, which is forty kilometres away, let alone Trieste or Rimini. I'm fed up with the confusion between the inhabitants of northern Italy and the voters of the Lega. There are many northerners who do not vote for the Lega and feel Italian, not Padanian.
