Maurizio Costanzo always did it in his broadcasts: that ‘special’ gift to all his guests
The disappearance of Maurizio Costanzo has left a void that cannot be filled in the world of television and in the hearts of all those who have followed him for years. Journalist and television presenter, he was able to carry on everything he did successfully. Costanzo has conducted many programs during his career and perhaps not everyone knows it, he had a particular habit.
Each time he gave his guests a turtle. In fact, he has never hidden his great passion, so much so that he has collected over 5,000 figurines of all shapes and types. Well, the conductor gave each character present in his programs one of these objects together with a rose. Turtles had an important meaning for him, they represented longevity and the strength to fight in the face of life’s difficulties.
Indeed, the journalist has even dedicated a book to this animal, entitled ‘The strategy of the turtle. Survival Manual’. In this text he extolled their ability to depend on no one and to withdraw into their shells when adversity comes their way.
