Raffaella Carrà, one of Italian television's most beloved entertainers, and known as the Queen of Italian TV, has died at the age of 78. Here she is in an interview with Fabio Fazio on Rai 3. Her blonde hair was her signature, as you will see when you watch the video. She was a legend. She sang, she danced, she hosted, and she interviewed. For many years, Italian families would watch her talk show Pronto Raffaella (Hello, Raffaella) at the noon hour, when school got out.

In this part of the interview, Raffaella Carrà tells about how her grandmother helped her become the queen of Italian television.

Raffaella tells some anecdotes about some big stars she had encountered during her career. She also gives us some details about a famous "telephone number" song, and the famous dance number, "Tuca tuca" that created a bit of scandal in the early seventies.

Fabio Fazio gives Raffaella Carrà a great sendoff, replete with majorettes and a legendary marching band from a Milan district.

Francesco Totti, captain of the Rome soccer team, gives an interview on his thirty-sixth birthday in which he has to guess which goals television viewers chose as his best three out of thirty-six.

Ciro Immobile, offense player, talks about his fantastic season with the Turin team. He now plays offense with the Borussia Dortmund team and with the national Italian team.

A personal message from Santa!

Holiday wishes from the Yabla Italian team.

When one retires, it can free up time as well as one's mind, providing an opportunity to experiment and find out what is important. Armando, who worked as an architect before retirement, uses photography to explore the circle of life in nature.

Little by little, we discover Armando's fascination with oxidation. It seems to have started by looking at advertising billboards.

Armando tells us how the designs he is fascinated by come to be. It all has to do with billboards, and how they are marked up, torn, and over time, oxidized. The oxidation process is fascinating.

Armando begins describing the structure of his book, and talks about how he envisions a kind of journey, beginning in the far reaches of the universe, down to the tiny details of a flower.

In this segment, describing chapters 3 - 6, we can imagine storms, volcanoes, oceans, and mountains in Armando's photographs.

In chapter. 7, Armando describes how, to him, his images represent vegetation, woodlands, trees, and flowers.

Not only are Armando's photographs reminiscent of the universe and nature — they also recall other works of art from history.
