My Take
Pippo Baudo was, in my view, the living memory of Italian television. A career spanning six decades and a record thirteen editions of Sanremo is not just longevity, it is institutional weight. What I respect is that he understood the host is not a bystander but the heartbeat of a broadcast, the figure who makes millions feel at home. Nicknamed Superpippo and honoured with the Order of Merit, he turned hosting into a craft worthy of respect. His passing in 2025 closed a chapter, but his model of warmth and command still defines what a great presenter should be.
