«X Factor 2021»: Ludovico Tersigni of «SKAM» instead of Alessandro Cattelan?

Choosing the peculiarities of a successor, of the one who will take over the reins of a kingdom, a papacy or a television program, is not a trivial matter for voters who know they can change things: if a revolution must be, it might as well that starts from scratch rather than perpetuating a continuity that could be redundant for an audience eager for novelty and bewildered by an offer much larger than the screen that contains it. In the case of X Factor, which already in 2020 inaugurated a more intimate and personal path by purging the show of all the unnecessary elements to bring attention back to the music, that successor could be a name completely unrelated to television and, for this very reason, interesting to impress to the program a different point of view: it is the actor Ludovico Tersigni, 26 years old, Roman from Rome, star of SHAME Italy and of Summertime, which we will review on Netflix on June 3.

According to what was anticipated by Dagospia, he could be the heir of Alessandro Cattelan at the running of the fifteenth edition of the Sky talent show: a new name, fresh, with no experience in a live event but just right for this new phase of the program that tries to reach the authenticity of emotions and its participants without filters and superstructures. Negotiation, that Vanity Fair confirmation in place, is still in progress: it is not so absurd that Sky is considering focusing on a new little artist to grow and shape: looking for the carbon copy of Cattelan would have been counterproductive, everyone would have pounced on him and insisted on comparisons that already give us a headache. Betting on a new name, with a new and decidedly unconventional approach like Tersigni, who still has an uncle, Diego Bianchi, that is Zoro, who has created his own way of conducting and managing a program such as Propaganda Live, would undoubtedly be the most courageous gesture we could witness.

To say that Tersigni is not loved, after all, would be a lie: thanks to the character of Ale, the tender-hearted motorcyclist of Summertime, and even more to that of Gio, Eva’s first love and Martino’s best friend SHAME Italy, Ludovico Tersigni has entered the hearts of thousands of boys and girls who, we are sure, would follow him (also) in this new adventure without thinking twice. He no longer has Instagram – when we asked him about social media a year ago, he said that “if we abuse our image, we risk getting lost in a labyrinth of mirrors. In the future I will try to be much more careful because I realize that social networks seem fundamental today, but also that real life is more important than virtual life. If we do not use them well, these tools can make us lose ourselves in an image of ourselves which is not true to what we are “-, he is very shy and reserved about his private life, but full of desire to do (in his past he was also an actor and singer of musicals, including Anything could happen). In short, we cross our fingers, without neglecting the fact that it is a bit as if Sky and Netflix were exchanging stickers: Cattelan at Netflix and Tersigni at Sky.
