"Success alone does not bring happiness," Pippo Baudo's last words revealed at his funeral: Tell this to my children...

Television personalities, a tearful farewell and untold stories: Pippo Baudo's funeral filled Militello in Val di Catania with emotions and surprises.

In front of the sanctuary of Santa Maria della Stella, not only tears and memories were shared, but also details that no one expected. And who could reveal them, if not Father Giulio Albanese, the trusted spiritual person of the most iconic presenter on Italian television?

Amidst prayers and caresses for the crowd, the priest recounted Pippo's last weeks, spent in self-analysis and deep thought. Yes, even under the influence of morphine, Baudo never lost his clarity and began a real marathon of reflections: "Especially in these last months of his life, he felt this desire to summarize, to understand that in some ways, success alone does not bring happiness." These are words that make you think, even for those who believe that television is just glitter and sparkle.

But it doesn't end there. Father Albanese highlighted how Baudo had recently questioned the meaning of success and his extraordinary career. A real personal cleansing, away from the spotlight, which led him to reconsider everything. And if you thought the story was only about RAI, you are very wrong.

Baudo has been called a part of Italian history and not just television history. “Indeed, with his death a book has been closed, almost a century of history, but it is not just the history of RAI, it is the history of Italy, of the Bel Paese.” In short, if you thought you could close Baudo’s chapter with a simple memorial, think again: his legacy extends far beyond the television studios.
