Italian Satirist Uses Humor to Highlight Political Commentary

Rome, Italy – May 26, 2025 – A recent video by Italian satirical news program Striscia la Notizia features comedian Dario Ballantini in a humorous segment about Italian politics. Ballantini, known for his political impersonations, interviews several politicians in Rome, using a comical costume and unexpected questions. The video intersperses these interviews with clips of news reports about a former minister's comments about her post-political life. While the video is primarily for entertainment, it highlights the ongoing use of satire in Italian political discourse. One politician interviewed, reacting to Ballantini's outlandish costume, stated, "They attack everything; now they're attacking this." The video's lighthearted approach offers a unique perspective on political commentary in Italy.
