After sixteen years of absence, The mole returns to shake up the television schedules, with a casting that promises sparks. Among the participants of the new season, which will be hosted by Diletta Leotta, a collection of characters who do not go unnoticed: Gilles Rocca, Andrea Preti, Alessandro Egger, Marco Melandri, Ludovica Frasca, Lucilla Agosti, Andreas Muller, Elisa Di Francisca. and Veronica Peparini. And then there is her, Marina La Rosathe icon of first edition of Big brotherwho returns to bring back that courage that never goes out of fashion.
Marina La Rosa: an icon that never ceases to surprise
It was in 2000 that Marina La Rosa entered the most spied on house in Italy and, from that moment on, her silhouette remained engraved in the collective memory. Today, at 47 years old, returns to the forefront with the same intensity as then. After years spent between commentators and roles on the small and big screen, Marina is resuming her place in the world of reality TV, ready to show a new side of herself. But is it really nostalgia or is there something more that brings you back to this type of experience?
Memories of a past of success and fame
During an interview to the podcast Once again by Luca Casadei, Marina traced the later moments al Big brotherrecounting a time when media attention poured over her like an overwhelming wave.
“After FM I wanted to return to Messina,” he said, “but the program’s press office told me it was impossible. I had to do reshoots, hosted.” This life, he explained, was like a “fun playground» but also “like these ancient carousels, these abandoned circuses, which remain stuck”. An image that evokes a carousel of lights and shadows, between the euphoria of the spotlight and a feeling of disorientation.
The golden years of nightclubs: dizzying cachet and wild crowds
But those years weren’t just covers and interviews: for Marina, they were also the season for stellar fees at nightclubs. The parties were exorbitant, with appearances that, although brief, brought in sums that today seem almost legendary.
“One time, I’m going to do one near Milan. I get on the console, the DJ says my name, all kinds of screams. Then, I sit on a sofa, they offer me champagne, I take two photos, two autographs and I leave with 50 million (lires, editor’s note), cash, for an hour of my time.
And again, for a New Year’s Eve full of extravagance: “I did a double, two evenings in a row… a cinema scene, a bit of Fellini”.
Faded heritage: between immaturity and inconsiderate spending
When it comes to managing your money, Marina admits she gave in to a certain financial carelessness. “The money goes away without you realizing it. You buy a car, you go on a trip, you rent a house at a disproportionately high price, then you go on another trip, maybe you rent a private plane because you’ll still make more money… Let’s call it’s financial immaturity. When they came in, they went out,” he reflects. A race without brakes, where money flowed as quickly as glory.
Marina and La Talpa: a new challenge or a second chance?
The presence of Marina La Rosa in the casting of the new edition of The Mole, which will be broadcast this evening, November 5, is a strong reminder of nostalgia for the public who lived these years, but also a curiosity for those who, in the meantime, discovered in her a different figure, more thoughtful and disenchanted.
Certainly, reality TV is a space in which Marina he will be able to show not only his tenacious sidebut also the ability to face, in your own way, the dynamics of a game which, although the same, always reserves new surprises.
