A public figure who makes his life the news
Fabrizio Corona: Io sono notizia explores the media personality known as the king of the paparazzi through a wider account of Italian celebrity culture. The five-part series moves from the Berlusconi era into the rise of social media, examining a public world in which private lives, business and entertainment increasingly overlap. Corona is the central figure, but the programme’s stated subject also includes the society around him.
The story begins with the influence of his father, journalist Vittorio Corona, and Fabrizio’s desire to establish himself. Netflix’s synopsis contrasts the father’s editorial world with a business built around gossip and the sale of other people’s lives. His association with Lele Mora becomes part of that commercial and media history.
