Italy - CVEM - Rare videos

[matt]

Hi all!

After a break due to university studies and exams (passed brilliantly) and work, I'm back, and this time with something really interesting!

As you know, many television broadcasters make use of copyright protection tools on video streaming platforms to rightfully defend their copyrights and protect the copyrights of the formats they produce.

Based on my experience in general, R.T.I (Mediaset), the private TV station that broadcasted Millionaire in Italy from 2001 to 2020, it is very strict with regard to copyright claims and strikes on YouTube. But leaving that aside, I managed to get some clips regarding the first two top prize winners in Italy (which are ABSOLUTELY unobtainable on the internet).

Francesca Cinelli

(Footage obtained: Question 15 only)

On March 18, 2001 she answered a question about the Blues guitarist "Albert King" and became the 1st ever winner of the then prize of 1 BILLION Italian lire (corresponding to approximately €520,000).

Francesca, at the time, was a saleswoman in a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Pistoia, Tuscany.

Her top prize question was the following:

If you were Albert King, what would be your profession? 

1. Writer
2. Television journalist
3. Formula One Pilot
4. Musician

Davide Pavesi

(Footage obtained, full run from Fastest Finger First)

At the age of 22 years old, became the 2nd person to win the big price of 1 MILLION Euros, answering a question about Laplace and his theory on the solar system! His episode aired in October 2004, and at the time Davide was a student of mathematics and engineering at the "Politecnico di Milano" University.

His 15th question was the following:
What name of the scientist is mentioned along with Kant in the theory explaining the formation and evolution of the Solar System?

1. Laplace
2. Lavoisier
   
3. Faraday
   
4. Gauss

Hi to you matt , thank you so much for showing us these very important excerpts from the Italian version, I say "very important" because they are still the first two top prize winners of "Chi Vuol Essere..."

Well, imagine that there was a time (I would say between 2015 and 2019), we could see lots of excerpts from the old version of "Chi Vuol Essere..." (2000-2007) on youtube. Unfortunately, since the history of LDS and the arrival of Sony Production on youtube (which moreover comes to p... *) we find no more pretty pearls or beautiful videos of yesteryear

In any case, it's great to show see re-show his extracts

*forgive me for this little sentence that I obviously censor but it came from the bottom of my heart haha
