Fabio Fazio, esteemed Italian television presenter, is ready to say goodbye to Rai, the house that has seen him grow professionally. This step, far from sudden, is the result of a long period of negotiations and uncertainty.
Discovery's courtship finally rewarded
Discovery has he has long had his eye on Fazio, trying to attract him with increasingly attractive offers.
Despite the presenter's initial resistance, now it seems that the wind has changed and that Fazio is ready to embark on a new adventure with Discovery, leaving Rai after years of success.
The farewell full of emotions to Rai

The famous comedian Maurizio Crozza eagerly awaits the arrival of the new colleague at Discovery, ready to give the welcome to Fabio in the team.
The uncertainties at Rai and the question of contract renewal
Despite the rumors of a low-priced economic offer from Rai, it seems that Fazio's decision to leave the broadcaster was not influenced by financial issues.
More than an economic issue, the core of the problem seems to have been the impasse in which Rai has found itself in recent months, with the former CEO Carlo Fuortes who refused to sign the renewal of Fazio's contract.
This uncertainty inevitably influenced the presenter's decision to look elsewhere.
A bright future ahead with Discovery
As an important chapter in his career closes, Fazio prepares to open it an exciting new chapter with Discovery sul Nove, the free digital terrestrial channel.
The change of broadcaster, although full of conflicting emotions, represents a new stimulating challenge for Fazio. The official announcement of the farewell to Rai and the transition to Discovery could take place in a very short time, marking the beginning of a new era in Fazio's career and, a bit, in the history of Italian television.
The question everyone is asking now is: Luciana Littizzetto will follow her lifelong friend?
