Splendida Cornice is a prime time people show in which the presenter Geppi Cucciari addresses culture lightly and with the irony that distinguishes her. The Sardinian actress and comedian will start from the people, from their stories, from the news of the week and from its interpreters, from small pearls of every form of art that deserve a spotlight and a look that is sometimes amused, sometimes complicit, but always curious . There will be a voting public, divided into demographic categories that will track the consumption of Italians to learn about their events and cultural predilections. There will be a professor who, shouting #primalitaliano, will monitor the grammatical adequacy of hosts and guests. A service band, or "disservice", will mark the rhythms of organized improvisation. There will be guests who can bring a high topic to an understandable level. We will talk about the most read book, the emptiest theatre, but inappropriately.
