  wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to 70x80,
• 1:16
  the section of 7080 .it that deepens the topics
• 1:19
  discussed on the portal. I'm with the journalist
• 1:22
  Enzo Mauri, who introduces today's topic. Good
• 1:25
  morning, today I'm talking to you about a quiz
• 1:27
  from the past. To the new generations, the name
• 1:30
  of Lando Degoli will probably say nothing. Yet
• 1:33
  in the 50s, the story that saw the center, the
• 1:35
  then champion of the television quiz, the Shaura
• 1:38
  Double, kept the entire Italian public opinion
• 1:41
  in attention. In 1955 the Italian TV was very
• 1:58
  young, a few months since January 3, 1954, the
• 2:03
  date of the beginning of the official broadcasts,
• 2:05
  while the double show had started on November
• 2:07
  26, 1955. Lascia Ora Doppia was led by Mike Buongiorno,
• 2:12
  born in New York but of Italian origins, where
• 2:15
  he arrived in our country to the journalist Vittorio
• 2:18
  Veltroni. With Mike Buongiorno, the ballet Maria
• 2:20
  Giovannini, then replaced by Eddie Campagnoli.
• 2:23
  The success of Lascia Ora Doppia was almost immediate,
• 2:25
  so much so that it caused an upheaval in the
• 2:27
  sales of the televisions, not yet so widespread
• 2:30
  in our country. In 1956 a television cost about
• 2:33
  160 ,000 lire, four times the average salary
• 2:36
  of a worker. Those who could not afford it, assisted
• 2:39
  I leave a double in the bars or in the houses
• 2:41
  of faculty neighbors. For the question of 2 ,560
• 2:47
  ,000 lire, in this moment we have the first hero
• 2:50
  of Lascia o Raddoppia, Professor Degoli di Carpi.
• 3:13
  He had to answer five questions of average difficulty.
• 3:16
  The first was worth 2 ,500 lire. To each exact
• 3:19
  answer, the value doubled until it reached 40
• 3:22
  ,000 lire. Can you hear me, Mr. Degoli? Yes.
• 3:25
  Then, please, silence in the room. This is the
• 3:27
  question of 2 ,560 ,000 lire. At Lasciao Radduppia,
• 3:37
  whoever passed this phase had to answer three
• 3:39
  more questions, until reaching, like Radduppi,
• 3:42
  the considerable figure for the period of 320
• 3:44
  ,000 lire. In this phase, the competitor of Lasciao
• 3:47
  Radduppia was put in front of the client, who
• 3:49
  gave the title to the broadcast. If he left,
• 3:52
  he could return home with the sum won until that
• 3:54
  moment. In case of Radduppio, he would sit in
• 3:56
  the cabin to answer in 60 seconds, scanned by
• 3:59
  a large clock, a single question, until reaching
• 4:01
  the maximum figure of 5 ,120 ,000 lire. In the
• 4:05
  case of a wrong answer, the competitor lost everything
• 4:08
  but judged himself a new Fiat 600 Fiammante.
• 4:11
  I repeat the question, Mr. Degoli. In the score
• 4:13
  of his melodramas, Verdi has never used the counter
• 4:18
  -faggot? If the answer is positive, tell me in
• 4:22
  which opera. At the TV quiz, the director Camillo
• 4:25
  Mastrocinque dedicated the 1956 film Totò Lascia
• 4:29
  e Raddubbia with the comic Parthenopeo and the
• 4:32
  same Mike Bongiorno. The first participants in
• 4:34
  Lascia e Raddubbia were Professor Lando Degoli
• 4:36
  di Carpi, an opera music expert with two degrees
• 4:39
  in mathematics and physics. The audience of Lascia
• 4:42
  e Raddubbia immediately fell in love with Lando
• 4:44
  Degoli's face and his prodigious memory, so much
• 4:47
  so that he turned him into a star. The titles
• 4:49
  of the newspapers were all for him, he was invited
• 4:51
  to world festivals, to one of these the actress
• 4:54
  Gina Lollobrigida gave him a waltz. Everything
• 4:56
  seemed to go smoothly until the evening of December
• 4:59
  17, 1955, when Lando Degoli decided to enter
• 5:03
  the cabin and double for the stellar prize of
• 5:05
  2 ,560 ,000 lire. Sir Degoli, we give you exactly
• 5:09
  one minute to answer and to win the amount of
• 5:13
  two million and five hundred and sixty thousand
• 5:15
  lire. Ready? Go! The question of Lascior Dupia
• 5:17
  was about the works of Giuseppe Verdi and markedly
• 5:20
  in which of these the composer used the counterfeiter.
• 5:23
  Under the eyes of millions of spectators, Lando
• 5:26
  Degoli admitted not being able to answer. A few
• 5:28
  seconds after the end of the time available,
• 5:30
  he whispered the Falstaff, but the answer was
• 5:33
  wrong. Sir Degoli, come on, there are five seconds
• 5:35
  left. Falstaff! No, Mr. Degoli, it's Mr. Carlos.
• 5:39
  I'm sorry. Unfortunately, we should say that
• 5:43
  this counter -faggot will perhaps become an obsession
• 5:46
  in his life. Because of a counter -faggot, we
• 5:49
  were unable to make him win 2 ,560 ,000 lire.
• 5:53
  According to the experts of Lascia or Raddubbia,
• 5:55
  the correct answer would have to be Don Carlos.
• 5:58
  Lando Degoli returned home on board a new Fiat
• 6:00
  600, but the question was not over there. Italy
• 6:03
  caught fire on the story of the counterfeiting.
• 6:06
  Lando Degoli received thousands of letters of
• 6:08
  solidarity, also from famous characters, including
• 6:10
  Pope Pio XII. The champion of Lascia or Raddubbia
• 6:14
  became the protagonist of the first contest in
• 6:16
  the history of Italian television. The question
• 6:18
  of Lascia or Raddubbia had been asked badly,
• 6:21
  the RAE resumed the game Tala Redic here from
• 6:44
  2311 Racing. Victory Lane? Yeah, it's even better
