Exchange between Linus and the son of Claudio Cecchetto, Jody. After the radio host's comment on the documentary aired on Rai 1 "People from Cecchetto", the boy's reply came yesterday, who did not appreciate the criticisms directed at his father. Live on Radio Deejay, Linus had made some considerations on the little success of the program, calling Claudio Cecchetto a "fool". Ten days after the episode, with a video on Instagram, Jody defended his father, reiterating that it was he who laid the foundations of the radio.
Linus' criticisms
The facts date back to ten days ago. Live on Radio Deejay, the radio host Linus had made some considerations on the little success of the Rai documentary "People from Cecchetto", which did not achieve the desired numbers: "Rai 1 went very badly, there was obviously something very uninteresting", Linus would have said. A sentence that triggered the reaction of colleague Nicola Savino, who intervened saying "How foolish you are". At that point, Linus' further reply would have arrived, who would have added "Eh, how foolish he is".
Jodi Cecchetto's video
A few weeks later, the reaction of Claudio Cecchetto's son, Jody, arrived. With a video posted on Instagram, the young host defended his father, reiterating that it was he who laid the foundations of the radio: "I hope this video can be seen by many people who follow the world of radio. It is something that I urgently needed to do, to say. A message without rancor or malice to @linus_dj, whose great professionalism I recognize and to whom I feel the need to publicly say mine. Because it involves one of the most important people in my life (who doesn't know about this video) and it involves the job I have temporarily suspended but I would like to continue to deepen and live, in the future. And now I am "free" to say what I feel and proudly take full responsibility for my words", Jody wrote on Instagram.
In the video, Jody Cecchetto addressed Linus directly: "Dear Pasquale, I allow myself to give you the 'you' even if we do not know each other personally. But since I've been listening to your program for a long time, it's a bit like I know you thanks to the radio. I heard that you considered People from Cecchetto 'very uninteresting'. This docu is not merely a tribute to Claudio Cecchetto, but it is a hug to and from the protagonist friends present in the film, whose stories are retraced. Stories that have become History because they have changed the language of communication, radio, TV in Italy. Stories that for a whole generation represent an unforgettable personal youth. Maybe you did not consider that by belittling the documentary you also belittled the passionate testimonies and the history of people who I have always seen that you have treated as colleagues and lifelong friends in the various interviews or when you talked about them: I speak of Lorenzo Jovanotti, Rosario Fiorello, Gerry Scotti, Amadeus and also Fabio Volo, who seems to work on your radio, but has lent himself with great affection".
Then he continues: "The thing that most upset me to hear is when you defined fool because, as you said, it is the person thanks to whom basically you are there and Radio Deejay exists. Even just for this without considering all the rest, it doesn't seem so foolish to me. For some years I have been hanging out in the world of social media, I love it but what bothered me so much are the digs. I'm learning and I still have to learn but I think I've learned one thing: the words said in front of a microphone are important. What you said is a dissing - a nasty dig from social, nothing to do with the professional figure of one of the most beloved speakers in Italy, leader of the radio that should be the coolest of all. I didn't warn anyone about this video and I take responsibility for what I said".
Linus' comment
After the publication of the video, Linus' reply also arrived under the post: "You are a good boy, and it does you honor that you defend dad. The rest you will never be able to understand. Fortunately. Good luck for everything".
