6 October 1988 (6 October 1988) – present (present)
Striscia la notizia (Italian:[ˈstriʃʃalanoˈtittsja]) is an Italian satirical television program on the Mediaset-controlled Canale 5. Launched in 1988, it is meant to be a parody of the daily news, which airs right before the program, but Striscia also satirizes government corruption and exposes scams with the help of local reporters who are also comedians. The program is created by Antonio Ricci and is hosted by two major comedians.[1]
The name of the show literally translates in English as "The News Slither".[2][3]
Gabibbo, an Italian cultural icon, is the red mascot of the TV show, with a strong Genoa accent. Always loud, braggart but pungent in his naive but straightforward ways, it is one of the reporters of the program and it also sings and dances the theme song at the end of every episode. The character appears also in another TV show called Paperissima.
The term velina (English: tissue paper) is a figurative term in Italian journalism which refers to government-issued propagated news. It is a parody of the news industry during the Fascist era under Benito Mussolini, where the government controlled and heavily censored all news reports and papers.
Within Striscia, the veline are two young women (one blonde, the other brunette) who perform short dances called stacchetti, always finishing up on the news anchors' desk. Originally, they also came on stage to hand the "news anchors" their news.
Since 2012, the term velina became an entry in Italian dictionaries.[4][5]
The Tapiro d'Oro (Golden Tapir), a small golden statue, is a special prize usually delivered to big celebrities or politicians who have been humiliated or defeated.[7] Although many personalities take it in front of the cameras in the hope of getting attention for themselves, others run away and Valerio Staffelli, a special correspondent for the show, has to run after them until they finally take it. Some even react aggressively. In 2003, Rai Uno Director Fabrizio Del Noce, cornered by Staffelli, banged his microphone on the reporter's face, breaking Staffelli's nose.[8]
