Striscia la Notizia take 2

Once again we came across a Striscia crew while we were walking back to our apartment.  I shamelessly posed for a photo with Giampaolo Fabrizio, another regular on Striscia

Striscia la Notizia

While we were taking photos near the Pantheon on Friday we noticed a sound guy walking with a crew.  When we checked the photo we realised that it was a Striscia la Notizia crew with Dario Ballantini in costume.  His theatrical make up was really well done.

 Striscia la Notizia  is a popular Italian TV program which is on most nights and has satirical segments.      Politicians are a common target and the Angelino Alfano character regularly appears on Striscia.  Politicians are doorstopped on a daily basis in Piazza Montecitorio  -Palazzo Montecitorio is where the lower house of Italy's Parliament is located.

I have no idea who the politician is, but he must have been worth waiting for :)

Brilliant makeup

We missed Striscia on Friday night as we went out for dinner.
