Translation by Laura:
PART 1 (0-4:10)
V: Oh I’m sorry, it’s my bad luck as usual
Z: But it’s not your bad luck, we did the rite here, they are all angry, we also have the raven, we called Otelma the magician for you, there was nothing to do
Q: The rain dance..
Z: So, we want things to go well today, and since Veronica doesn’t have so much time today, we’ll go with the jingle and then let’s start
SONG
Z: And we did a song for Veronica, because she is so nice to us and this is the end of this program, so zia Rita and DJ Nananana created this song together for her, because this girl deserves it, because she showed us that she loves us
Q: The title is “Grazie Vero”
SONG ['Grazie Roma' (Antonello Venditti) changed into ‘Grazie Vero’]
Z: So? Was it nice, did you like it? We made it for you, the dj and me.
V: But who thinks about these things, who is the mind?
Q: We are the mind, and also the staff, dj Nana, zia Rita, etc.
Z: No, zia Rita above all, tell the truth, stupid.
Z: Well, tons of mails are here for you.
Q: If we could weigh them ..
Z: I don’t know what their weight would be, but since people were longing for this live chat with you, I tell you that there are friends from Brazil, Spain, Venezuela, Mexico, where.. England, from Texas .. In short, we want to tell something about what has been recently published in various magazines, you know I give you carte blanche [I give you free hand].
V: You say so.. Don’t give me carte blanche ever!
Q: Yes, we give it you.
Z: We like your being so ‘spont’.. spontaneous.
V: Oh mom, help me.. So, okay, where do I start from, what are the questions?
Z: There are 4502 questions, but there’s one in particular, we must read it because she has sent 80000 mails.. Who did you have lunch with today?
V: Oh, with angioletti sfigatini!
Z: It ‘s true, and say hello to them because today it’s their day.
V: It ‘s obvious that I greet them, and I also got another great big cigarette lighter, But I do not remember its name .. Yeah okay, this is a long story that they obviously understand, don’t think I’m crazy .. I mean, in effect, I don’t explain to you, but there’s a story behind.
Z: No, I know, there’s always a story behind what you say, you don’t throw things just to say.
V: Never.
Z: Zia Rita, I beg you like a Tibetan monk, please read this message: Veronica, can you adopt me? Or I’ll adopt you, it’s the same for me, just to see you..
V: I’ll adopt the Tibetan Monk, I need him
Z: ..and live emotions that are stronger than those behind a display, Valentina the ciardina sfigata.
PART 2 (4:10-12:15)
Z: An article was published in a very famous magazine, it caused an argument.. what happened in reality? Do you want to tell us, Vero?
V: You refer to Sarah, don’t you?
V: What happened .. it happened .. Sarah’s interview, in part distorted by the magazine, because that’s what she told me when I called her, and in part about things that she said, because obviously she has told some of those things, things that she thinks, things I know, things we say to each other and everything .. I’m tired, I say it here and I subscribe on magazines .. I’m tired. That ‘s what has ruined me, ruined her, ruined us, from the beginning .. I say it openly now, I won’t allow it anymore .. at least on this .. in the sense that, at first I thought this: I thought that I had to do it, I felt under obligation to all those people who had supported us, believed in us, understood us, etc. .. But then I came to a conclusion .. that I have no duties to anyone, I mean .. I became ill following what people said, I became ill paying attention to chat, because of such unfair malice from people who don’t know anything, who don’t know what has happened in recent months.. I do not know whether to say it or not, because if I say it a bomb will explode that you have no idea zia, so what should I do?
Z: Say it, you have to say it.
D: Now, you’ve almost thrown (the bomb).
V: Well, I can only say one thing, and this is the last time I will talk about it because we came to an agreement last time we talked on the phone .. oh well, we talked today as well, but we talked about it days ago .. we won’t speak of it anymore, because people make a lot out of it.. and here I am speaking to bad people who don’t know what the hell to do from morning to evening, and not to those who support us.. they will always have explanations, they went beyond [sono andate oltre] .. they understood, and they have never judged, and perhaps they never wanted to know if we were, we were not, we did, we did not, so I speak only to those people who are sick and they exist, and they are too many perhaps .. it’s a shame that they always hide behind a computer, because if I had them in front of me..
However I say that in these two months I suffered like a dog, people can’t imagine this, can’t expect it, because they only received silence from me, or interviews where I’ve gone crazy, I went crazy .. because after all I act this way, I am impulsive(6:31) .. and to be impulsive is a little different from being inconsistent, because I got tired of people telling me: “You’re incoherent”, because I’m not inconsistent, it’s a matter of “andare di pancia”, I leave my head in a corner and I follow emotions and feelings .. and if they are bad, I react by telling bad things .. it’s a logical thing, I do like this .. I am this, I am Veronica .. if you saw me, you saw this, you didn’t see a rational person there, sitting at a table, talking about philosophy and laws of life .. no. I have always spoken with one thing, with my heart in my hands. I’ve always had this heart.
After leaving the house I was very bad, because me and Sarah didn’t meet immediately, ok? The newspapers distorted things a lot at the beginning .. it was not true that we loved each other at the beginning, that we met, it was not true at all, because at the beginning we never saw, we haven’t spoken for months, ok? (7:30) Perhaps the only time we talked was on the 29the, and that’s why I am thankful to the party, where I didn’t want to go to, and I repeat, I repeat it because I’m not afraid of anything or anyone, and I tell the truth always and anyway, I don’t want to hide things, ok? So at first there were only misunderstandings, we could not see .. On one side I closed in myself, however, because it’s part of my nature, there were 1 and 2 and 3 things that I didn’t understand, and I just closed the door, I said stop, she’s not the person I expected to find outside. She, on her part, had reactions to me, maybe because she didn’t see the person I was inside, because I was still a bit too..
how can I say, I was a bit distraught, I was out (of mind), I didn’t understand anything, I didn’t know what was happening ..
Then this thing of magazines, that I didn’t like from the beginning .. this thing of the Sogno, which on one side gratified me, it opened my heart.. but on the other side it scared me, because it is something evil, because you can create something diabolical about this. I was called by clothing companies, by magazines, to speculate on this damn dream, and since then I closed in myself on principle, and I say it to all .. in my life I’ve never had any money, I could have lowered to compromise several times, you know how? I mean, in very easy ways, but I never did.. today I have some possibility of having some money in my pocket, for the time being at least, and do you think I could make compromise by selling .. il Sogno? But are we fools? Are we kidding?
(9:16)So I closed the door to the sogno, I closed the door to Sarah, I closed the doors to all, I shut myself in.. she didn’t look for me, ok? Because she had her reasons. I understood that on the 29th, she understood me on the 29th, that’s the truth. And in those months I suffered like a dog .. I cried every day, I suffered from panic attacks, I was sick, I even cried during broadcasts, saying that it was because of other idiots, whereas it wasn’t true, ok? So I got tired of people who talk too much without knowing anything .. punto. This is part of the truth, because then if I told things in detail, a bomb would actually explode. But I don’t tell them, because “non ci sta”, it’s no use, my conscience is clean, I know who I am .. But I say, a hand on the conscience of all those people who speak there from their small chair in front of a computer.. a bit of common sense, good taste, at least to put the doubt, at least to put a question mark, I don’t say to be sure about that .. But I’m tired, what the hell .. Me always with horns, the others with halos, stop.. eh, the truth hurts, that’s the problem zia ..
Z: Brava, the truth hurts.. one second Veronica, come round because it’s happening all sort of things, the truth hurts.
D: Veronica, you’re angry these days, but we from radio international love you
SONG (‘Nessuno mi può giudicare’, Caterina Caselli)
PART 3 (12:15-18:20)
Z: Emblematic .. we have chosen well, the truth hurts us, I know, but the truth leads us to say right things, to say what we feel in our heart, Veronica opened to us .. and we thank her for this
V: No, oh well
Z: .. because I think this arrived to all friends who believe in you, who have sent emails from all over the world, because Radio International has become international recently thanks to you .. Veronica’s International Radio
V: Thanks
Z: I’ll read something that Valentina sent me, because it’s important for her: They’ll always criticize you, speak badly of you, it’ll be hard to meet someone who will like you as you are, so live, do what your heart tells you to do.. “Life is like a play that does not allow testing. So sing, cry, dance, laugh and live intensely every day of your life, before the curtain closes and the piece ends with no applause” .. it’ s a Charlie Chaplin’s quote that Valentina wants to dedicate to you
V: I know, I have also a picture at home .. and believe me, I started to do .. I’m sorry I did the stairs, 4 floors, I’m too old, oh well .. however, I started to do, believe me when I say that I do not care anything of people who criticize me and who don’t.. I really think, my strength is those who love me, and I only get angry when people must speak without knowing .. I swear, “I’d give the heads against the wall for it”, because .. or they do it on purpose, or they do it on purpose because people don’t know what the hell to do all day and they like to make mischief, to say sentences, say words, but I really wonder how is it possible? Or there’s a band of crazy people, who decided to write, all together .. now I start to use swearwords.. never mind .. However I started to do so, thanks Valentina .. Valentina who?
Z: Valentina .. Caperna, maybe?
V: No, Caperna is Alessandra who sent me just a moment ago, in fact I thank her …
Z: I don’t know her surname, she is from Custodi
V: Pierotti
Z: Brava, Pierotti
V: My Pierotti, hi Vale
Z: Oh, yes, she is
Z: Hello Vero, I spent a wonderful summer with you and the ciardini, and thanks to this adventure I met many friends, and I thank you very much for this, if you could accept my friendship on facebook .. Ok well here is an open world, on fb they write all sort of things .. never mind .. But can I tell you my opinion, as a friend, even if only by phone ..When GF started nothing similar had ever happened, we’ve said many times, a mediatic boom for you, for Sarah, for il sogno .. All these things were so amplified only by magazines, only by the media, or there was someone else who took advantage?
V: No, no no .. it was different, the phenomenon was much more important, and that should make us think, I’ve already said this, much more .. I mean that magazines have eaten on it [made a profit], ok? It’s different, magazines didn’t start with A, ok? They wanted to take advantage of it, and then make other people and other systems trade on it. Things are different, because our phenomenon was a scream, such a cry from so many people, at least I want to see it this way, I like to think so .. maybe someone is saying, Veronica what the hell are you talking about, but for me it was the muffled scream of so many people, so many women, who up until now were walking in the street and maybe they were talking and screaming, shouting, making smoke signs, but no one saw this, because you don’t want to see, because in Italy you can’t see, because Italy is a country, I’ve said a thousand times, where you can’t say things, okay?
So, I think it was this, and such a thing makes me proud, makes me feel inside as a lion, a bear in a cage and tears it to escape, do you understand? Because it’s a very important thing, I mean that everyone must live as he thinks it’s right, and how he feels he wants to live his life .. man, woman or animal, love has no gender .. So I think it was something bigger .. then from here magazines and many other things wanted to trade on it, but that’s obvious .. here everything is a compromise, everything sucks, because everything turns around [refers to] television, everything turns around the newspapers, but always because we are in Italy … that is, elsewhere it’s different.. in another country if we had done what we did, we had experienced what we experienced it wouldn’t have been a scandal, a positive nor negative one, it would have been normal .. but basically it is normal. If she makes me feel good, if I make her feel good, we have to live us as we want .. it seems absurd to me that we’re still at this point ..
Z: So basically this is the announcement: From now on, neither Sarah nor Veronica will give interviews to magazines bislacchi, but they will live privately, as far as possible, their friendship, their being friends, we can say this? There will be no interviews of any kind on any week magazine?
V: But from this point of view, I always just answered, eh, because as far as I’m concerned .. I drove journalists and magazines mad..
Z: that’s right
PART 4 (18:20-29:20)
Z: Listen, here they write from Nicaragua, Claudia Marcela: Vero have you ever thought about how many thousands of foreign people have learned Italian thanks to you, after watching so many videos, interviews and Bislacco5 .. Bislacco5 did some good in the end .. do you realize how many of us use your phrases in our everyday vocabulary, such as “lo giuro su mio fratello’”, “figa da paura Sa’ “, “t’aregge” , with an American, Spanish accent
V: I wanted to say .. that is not Italian, if you followed what I said it’s not Italian
Z: You always pretend so.. while you speak really well, you express yourself very well, you also read several books in my opinion, so your false ignorance is just a way to pretend, can I tell? This is the only thing that you pretend, because Veronica is a very intelligent girl, who studies a lot.
V: Thanks
Z: Many are asking, what about a movie? For us you’re the new Anna Magnani, because you’re so spontaneous
V: I can say one thing .. thanks, Anna Magnani is a myth for me, this is not my way. Today I did a small thing, but it’s something silly, I was there and I was ashamed as a thief [terribly ashamed], because I have a certain humility, I know where I come from, I don’t come from an acting course, so I was a bit embarrassed, but it was a good experience, but that will not be my way.
Z: Many ask: Have you decided what to do? Will you appear in tv? Cinema? Acting school? What about Veronica’s future, since in a while new GF11 will start and there will be other stories
V: At the moment there is a tv show, this is what I was offered .. for the moment it’s fine with me, then I repeat, as long as it lasts .. in effect, when it ends I’ll return to my previous life. I’m moving even privately to open the famous nursery school
Z: So cute .. see this girl, except that she hasn’t considered us all summer long
V: Do not say so .. I’ve lost 10 Kg, I was in hospital, I don’t want to say what I had because it’s better I don’t say, I felt terrible .. At the end of summer it was no longer me
Z: But you told lies to zia Rita, because how many times did zia Rita tell you: Look it’s really a strenuous job, and you: What are you saying, this is not a job. It ‘s a job, because when you’re stressed, you take 40 planes, interviews and discos it’s stressful. Sure you made some money, but definitely you need a break..
V: That’s true, now I can say is true. But if I compare this to those who get up at 6 am and go to work for 9 hours, even more, to earn half of one night that I do, I shouldn’t say these things, I put a hand on my heart [my conscience] and bear the stress and move on
Z: Carpe diem, certainly you put aside some money, and if one day I’ll have a child ..
[Joking about zia Rita]
(22:36) [During the summer Veronica met the DJ. They want to organize a better meeting with zia Rita next summer]
(23:00)
Z: You know that I’ll come to Rome, because of great Renato in concert[Renato Zero]
V: But you know I’m going .. I am going to Renato Zero, of course, then Vasco, and even Lady Gaga
Z: Lady Gaga is a myth, we don’t like her very much but
[Zia Rita wants to dedicate a song by Vasco Rossi to Veronica and suggests "Sally"]
(23:45) V: Beautiful, yes, I like it, but necessarily Vasco? Otherwise I’d like..
Z: Which one my dear, tell me
V: But don’t play it now, I tell it to you and then play it
Z: Tell me in private
[Meanwhile DJ talks. They speak of the song, they seek in the archives, they try to understand. ]
(25:38) Z: To whom do you want to dedicate this song, Vero?
V: To all
Z: To all your fans? Listen but don’t you feel strange with all these people listening from Venezuela, Mexico, Spain, England .. What do you think about it?
V: It ‘s absurd, it’s more and more absurd .. because I’m more and more conscious of it, then it becomes more absurd, but more beautiful
Z: It is very beautiful. However, perhaps the advice from zia Rita arrived, I mean henceforth you’ll live for you, you live your life as a girl of 24 years, because you deserve it, because you have shown in recent months what a clever person you are, with your feet on the ground, a person who is de core e de panza, but who is basically good. Many of us understood it
V: Thank goodness, thank you
Song ["Il mondo insieme a te", 883]
PART 5 (29:20-34:50)
Z: Well, a text that says a lot, dear Veronica, a beautiful choice, congratulations. Who would you dedicate this song to?
V: Well, it’s dedicated to, consider that when I listen to it in the car I think “Come è bello il mondo insieme a Voi” ['you' plural]
Z: A thing without which you could never live in this world?
V: Ok, without my brother .. a person, my brother
Z: Do you swear on your brother?
V: I swear
Z: What things make you happier in your life, except your brother?
V: Well, look, I think .. very small things, small small small .. I’m always there, heart, emotions, as usual , nothing else .. I live with them.
Z: How do you drink coffee in the morning?
V: Apart from the fact that I don’t drink only one, I drink about 40 coffees daily, but drink it with cane sugar
Z: Brava, me too. This was from Katherine, who writes: I ask this because you wrote on fb that you’re looking for a girlfriend or a wife, so I prepare myself. You are fantastic. Many kisses from London. She writes from London.
V: Ci piace this thing
Z: Isn’t she lovely?
V: So tomorrow I will be in London.. no I’m joking
Z: How do you see your next love? Your present love also, in effect, I mean what is absolutely necessary to conquer Veronica Ciardi?
V: Right.. brain stimulation [stimulus for one’s mind], first of all. I mean I really changed .. I realize that really, I’ve definitely changed in recent months, from there [GF], going on with Sarah etc., I mean that my brain needs to be stimulated, I need that stimulus/motivation, I don’t know .. the fact that one can talk, discuss, find a person who may have the desire to travel, to know, to see the world .. this is what I have inside me. Although maybe it will take time, I don’t say that I’ll do it tomorrow, okay? But I want a person on my own line [on the same wavelength] .. I mean this
Z: Someone asks you to say Hola, Veronica will say Hola in Spanish thanks to zia Rita .. Hola amiga
V: Hola pequeni
Z: See, this girl can speak Spanish too as well. But in Sardinian, apart from ‘ aio’ you don’t know anything else?
[Aunt Rita teaches a new word in Sardinian, something like 'Millo mi,' that means 'Here it is']
(32:26)Z: will you go to Bislacco this year?
V: Yes
Z: Beware Barbara is even more intense, eh? But what will be her bislacchi subjects, she has already talked about all of them
V: No, okay, I wasn’t there with my mind, I repeat it .. wait a minute, now Veronica is back, I won’t let anyone disrespect me .. now I’m speaking in general, not only Bislacco
Z: When you are there you disconnect your brain, you park it in the dressing room and enter the scene, that’s how it works
V: They’ll call porn stars, dogs, cats, trees that say things
Z: But what happened to that lady there?
V: Do you know, similar things happened to me
[Vero talks about a similar girl who stopped her one day and wanted to do some photos with a director, probably a hard movies director. Vero says that now she is accustomed to this kind of absurd things. According to zia Rita Vero is a bit unlucky]
(34:30) Z: Today we talk about bad luck, superstition, are you superstitious Veronica?
V: I was perhaps before, because now, having approached very, very much to my belief, that is not a faith .. it’s my belief, it goes a bit against superstition
PART 6 (34:50-the end)
Z: (reading questions) you are do cojo cojo, carrot .. carrot? Or potato ..?
V: zia, you must keep up to date
Z: Ask if you are do cojo cojo, patata o zucchina
V: Well we can say this, I want to say that I‘m do cojo cojo in general, but ci piace more pasta e patate
Z: Chi vuole capire capisca [Who wants to understand understand]
Z: Can we make the official announcement? Veronica and me are girlfriends
[Jokes about this, scoops online magazines about Veronica and Aunt Rita]
(33:59) Z: From Colombia: Vero hello my name is Patricia and I live in Colombia, I don’t want to ask you any questions, I just want to tell you that you’re a beautiful and wonderful person, from the other side of the world I send you all my love, every day of your life be happy .. share, laugh, play, dare, feel, dream, and never stop dreaming. The only thing I’d like to have is a greeting for me and all your admirers in Colombia .. Patricia
V: Of course I do, but from my huge huge heart thanks thanks thanks
Z: My heart is full of good feelings, like Marie Antoinette used to [a person from GF1], is your heart full of good feelings?
V: Yes
Z: Because now Veronica has resumed the control of her life, and will not give ground to all crap on fb, in magazines, only zia Rita tells the truth
[Aunt Rita wants to make an “indecent proposal”: she offers to Vero a small weekly radio program, in which Veronica will answer a question in about three minutes, perhaps on Friday. Veronica likes it]
(38:33) V: I would love to. Also because really, I think that the radio is a means of communication, perhaps the only one, fair and somewhat noble, in the midst of all this crap. When I talk on the radio I don’t have to worry about anything and I always say what I think
[Joking about Veronica’s jingle for the radio. Zia Rita had done one for George and Carmela too. Veronica says it sucks, hers is more beautiful.
They invite her for next summer, try to organize a meeting. Zia Rita wanted her best friends to meet Veronica this summer].
(40:32) Z: It means that it was really important for me. They were all extremely pleased. During the journey they all said: You see what an easy-going girl, I think she is a girl like us
(41:16) Z: You were the first guest of the ‘by night’ [the program]. I am very happy to have known you, even though only by phone. Remain what you are Veronica, please .. do not listen to all the crap that you will hear, and you’ll hear much more ..
V: Sure
Z: Forget .. The eyes are the mirror of the soul, a stereotyped phrase, but I strongly believe in these “skin sensations” with people, I’ve almost never made mistakes, have I dj alpha alpha?
(41:59) D: You are real, pure and sincere
Z: Thank you, but you were telling me or Veronica?
D: Both
Z: We are self-celebrating
[Aunt Rita, for being funny, reads some horrible emails, asking about Veronica and Max, or Veronica and Mauro. For example, somebody accuses her that during GF she threw Mauro’s medicine, she denies of course]
(43:45) Z: (reading email) The diva [star] greets you and adores you, Angelica writes
V: Hello Diva
[Veronica jokes about making a film with Diva, in which Veronica would do a small part and Diva the leading role. Again zia Rita talks about cinema, she would see Vero as Anna Magnani. There are actors who are not able to act, for example, in some fiction, such as 'Carabinieri', or ‘pride and respect’]
(44:36) Z: Here (in this fiction) there’s Gabriel Garko, that figo [beautiful]. Who do you choose between Raul Bova and Gabriel Garko?
V: Raul Bova at the time of “Piccolo grande amore” which was my favorite movie when I was 14. But honestly Gabriel Garko, but I tell you frankly, the I’ve never liked ‘Belloni’ [objectively beautiful men, usually a not interesting beauty], I don’t know why
Z: I see, then?
V: Can I say something, who I like? I always liked Ricky Memphis
Z: Bello, ‘Distretto di polizia’ [a fiction], looking rough, a Romano de Roma, bono [beautiful]
V: I’ve never liked those belloni so much
Z: I am Vero, the girl from Spain, Valencia, the girl of the bracelet, do you remember?
[Aunt Rita talks about the bracelet that she gave to Vero. Vero doesn’t remember what happened to it. She gets offered many things, she like them, she has a drawer for this purpose, but if she would put everything on she would look like Mary Magdalene full with trinkets. Next time, zia Rita will give her a rosary. Veronica has a small shrine at home with all these things. ]
[(46:40) They talk about the idea of the radio programme with Veronica. She could say what she thinks about serious subjects as well, no politics]
(47:28) V: Thanks you gave me for the umpteenth time a chance to relieve my feelings and say what I think
Z: No, you said it and you did right. I hope and think that all friends have finally understood
[Zia Rita reads something from facebook, people who thank Veronica]
