“You are the heir of Maurizio Costanzo, you cleared some themes on TV”: Claudio Lippi has no doubts. And on Afternoon 5, during an episode entirely dedicated to Costanzo, he drops the bomb. “Maurizio was above all a great man who used television to clarify some issues in difficult times and you, Barbara, are the heir.” Lippi unequivocally refers to d’Urso’s way of making television, who always tried to break down the wall of prejudice by combating difficult issues such as, for example, homophobia with ordinary people. And not only.
“On television – continues Lippi – Maurizio Costanzo treated and eliminated customs such as depression, anorexia, homosexuality, rare diseases, he spoke of human rights just as you continue to do Barbara. You are the only woman, among other things, that he carries these arguments because you believe in them as he believed in them”. D’Urso is speechless. In recent days, he has spoken several times about his relationship with Costanzo. “He gave me this interview because he loved me”, she says with emotion, watching a 2015 interview made during the Maurizio Costanzo program.
