"Interviewer: Do you ever experience pressure on how you should appear on TV? Fialdini: No, because there are numerous female role models: we are many and all different, beautiful even if overweight. If anything, the pressure comes from the fact that our competence is always compared to that of men. Maybe it's still difficult to accept a woman who knows what she's doing. I am someone who says her opinion loud and clear."

"We must say clearly to those who listen to us that women on TV, and elsewhere, do not make a career by taking shortcuts [...]. Let's start to value and enhance ourselves, to underline the skills and efforts of every day, to fight against stereotypes and categorizations. Only in this way can we hope to change things. Interviewer: Women and TV: do you really still smell clichés? Fialdini: Unfortunately, we are talked about through clichés: the brunette, the blonde, the sexy, the sweet. The theme is cultural, our representation continues to pass through baseless stereotypes."

"We are entrusted with a space, it's not like we buy it or manage it. So the moment you are given or taken away [a television program], you have to think about what you put into it. If you are calm, if you have worked well, if you have given what you could give under the circumstances it's not really about being afraid, on the contrary, it's about saying "whatever happens, it's okay". Because I know how I worked, I know how my team worked, what we wanted to do and what we achieved and what we didn't achieve. We must always remember that we are talking about a public service, therefore that our first shareholders are the citizens, those who pay the license fee, so we must look at them. Then the directors have the prerogative to reconfirm you or not: it's clear that you can't please everyone, maybe not everyone is betting on you. But it's okay, I've already had a lot of satisfaction, I've had it thanks to the fact that I've been able to work hard."

"What strikes me every time on Social networks is stopping at the surface with reference to the body, whether I have lost weight or gained weight, and unfortunately it is more and more women who do this. men on the other hand make sexual comments of an ancestral banality. But after all, with social media we have made everything banal, even love, which lasts as long as a vertical scroll with your finger."

"My football faith grew up in the shadow of my family, I have been a Juventus Football Club fan for generations. In the bedroom where we took turns sleeping, at my grandmother's house, there was a poster of Juve by Scirea, Platini, Cabrini, Tacconi... It was not possible to imagine supporting a different team also because it was too much fun to shout all together for a goal during a match and celebrate a victory or share a feeling of defeat . We did it together then and so again."

"[...] certain themes that have been dear to me since I was a child. [...] My mother, who in Italy I believe was the first woman to be appointed secretary of the DS, taught me to feel responsible for others. I grew up in the shadow of a very busy woman. I remember the tomes on our bookcase, the volumes on the importance of salary harmonization, the debates I witnessed when the meetings were held in our home."

"I don't have a secret, or at least I think I don't. It's definitely all about alchemy. The difficult thing is finding this alchemy. I try to do something for the family, in a transversal way, that can please both the grandmother and the grandson who are in front of the screen."

"It struck me greatly, from the first moment he was named, that Pope Bergoglio had chosen Francis as his name. A name with great meanings that no one had used before. He is a person full of energy who manages to enter straight into our hearts. He is a force of nature who transmits God's love to all of us. But I was also struck by the strength of Ratzinger in making such a sensational choice to leave his post. A choice that no one understood at the beginning, but which now reveals the strong plan of the Holy Spirit."

"[...] television plays an important role as an example. And precisely by virtue of respect for others, I believe that this job requires a lot of honesty, especially towards the people who follow us from home."

"The message of Saint Francis is a universal message. You're fascinated by it, there's nothing you can do! But I am a sinner like the others. I pay attention to nature and give a lot of importance to others. The other must always be respected and it is this aspect of Saint Francis' message that I try in particular to put into practice with humility."

"If I close my eyes I am reminded of Sanremo 1971. I am reminded of a gentleman with a beard, namely Lucio Dalla, singing "4 March 1943". That song struck me a lot, also because I was born in March, so the song had a great fascination in me, as a child. A song that gave me a great thrill and it is no coincidence that I wanted it in the promos of the Festival [...]."

"Interviewer: If you met the Carlo Conti of the beginning today, what feeling would he give you and what would you advise him for the future? Conti: First of all he would make me very fond of him, then I would advise him to put a lot of enthusiasm into the things he wants to do , enthusiasm and heart, something that I have always done in my life. Advice that applies to all those who want to make their passion their profession."

"I am incredibly lucky, I have a duty to help those who are unlucky, this is the net amount of what I earned for the Festival, one hundred thousand euros for civil protection. You don't have to clap, this is normal. It's nice when you do good and don't say it, having to say it made me lose some of this strength, but I had to do it because at the beginning there was a lack of respect."

"There weren’t many girls or people of color. I didn’t feel like I fit in, and the idea of being compared with my counterparts was frightening.“If little girls turn on the TV, they’ll see my face … If I was wearing a helmet, they probably wouldn’t.” (Talking about being visible as a woman in motorsport, and how being without the helmet matters for visibility.)"
