Pino Insegno was moved by ‘Ciao Maschio’: “I miss my mother every day. When she died, I made my debut in the theater that same evening. The next day my son was born.

He dreamed of a family for me, of grandchildren,” the presenter recalled in a broken voice and teary eyes. guest Nunzia De Girolamo in the episode broadcast on Saturday 15 November at 17.05 on Rai 1.
Sitting in front of Nunzia, Insegno recalled the pain of the “no” that changed his life: “The most painful ‘No’? When I was about to fulfill my father’s dream, to become a professional footballer. I was just one step away and they took me out. It wasn’t because of an injury: they took me out. I cried one last time there and then when my son was born.” Later he recalled a special relationship with Maurizio Costanzo: “One night I had a fever of almost forty. I called to say ‘Maurizio, I can’t do it’. And he is ‘natural selection’. I took two takipirins and left. He’s like that: current, demanding, unique.”
To the presenter’s question about unforgivable mistakes, he answered sincerely: “No. I would do it all again. Good or bad. And worse still I haven’t done much. Otherwise, especially in this period, it would have been in the newspapers. For various reasons”, he concluded.
