Francesco Vezzoli's TV 70 Marathon Concludes at Fondazione Prada
The final weekend of Francesco Vezzoli's 'Maratone TV 70' series at Fondazione Prada in Milan features two iconic Italian TV programs: 'Milleluci' (1974) and 'Ma che sera' (1978). The series is part of the exhibition 'TV 70: Francesco Vezzoli guarda la Rai', a co-production between Fondazione Prada and Rai. Vezzoli curated six consecutive weekends of screenings exploring 1970s Italian television, a decade marked by social tensions, terrorism, political change, and feminism, as well as the shift from public to commercial TV. The final weekend focuses on Raffaella Carrà, analyzing her through 'Milleluci', directed by Antonello Falqui and co-hosted by Mina, and 'Ma che sera', written by Gianni Boncompagni and Dino Verde, directed by Gino Landi, which established Carrà as a star. Both programs are screened in full at the Fondazione Prada cinema. The exhibition runs until September 24, 2017.
