Milleluci per due star della televisione italiana. La strana coppia Mina-Raffaella Carrà

Milleluci represent a spectacle in many ways unparalleled in the history of Italian public television, both for its historical position – 1974, during the period of austerity and on the eve of the proliferation of private television broadcasting – and for its artistic choices. The program, directed by Antonello Falqui, promotes a celebration in grand style of the musical past and the national show, conducted for the first time by a female couple of absolute protagonists such as Mina and Raffaella Carrà. Their elevated and versatile artistic professionalism, combined with a close and self-mocking stage presence, and with the contribution of a team of first-rate collaborators (from Gianni Ferrio to Roberto Lerici) and significant guests, makes Milleluci an important arrival point. The journey of the television program through the genres of the musical show and the media that broadcasted them (from radio to café-chantant, from magazine to cabaret, from operetta to musical and to televison) its reconstructed through an elaborate historical and scenographic work, that can be enjoyed by different types of public: from those attentive to the performative aspects, to those that capture its self-reflexive and subtly critical brought.
