The owner of the Omega agency gave me a photomontage with Pivetti‘s face on the body of a topless ballerina in a tutu. Knowing Farina’s total devotion to her, I called him and said, ‘Tomorrow I'm putting this photo of Pivetti with her breasts exposed on the front page’. He turned pale and started sweating. ‘Well, bare breasts, no, slightly exposed’. And I said, ‘What are you talking about, her tits are out’. He was a wreck: ‘We can't publish this photo’. ‘Are you kidding? On the front page! I spent a lot of money.’ Increasingly pale and exhausted, Farina took the photo, pulled out his cheque book and said, ’How much? I'll buy it.’

Additional quotes by Maurizio Belpietro

(To the daily newspaper Libero) I had already hired Guzzanti. Vittorio had been less effective in recent years, Romagnoli had disappeared a bit, I was trying to hire Battista, but he said no, he was afraid, perhaps he dreamed of more important things. Galli della Loggia I simply forgot about him.

When someone talks about freedom of the press, I laugh. I remember Eugenio Scalfari's heartfelt articles when De Benedetti ended up in prison. I remember memorable and comical pieces in Repubblica when De Benedetti presented his financial company. Not even the reports of the Duce's speeches were so enthusiastic. And la Stampa‘’ has to report on these days of crisis at Fiat. And Libero is running a series of investigations into the Roman health service without mentioning that its publisher, Angelucci, owns several clinics in Rome.
