The seventh season of the series “Che Dio ci Aiuti”, produced by Lux Vide, in collaboration with Rai Fiction, ends with two episodes broadcast tomorrow at 21.30 on Rai 1. In the episode entitled “Dire Fare Impicciare”, Azzurra, interpreted by Francesca Chillemi, comes to terms with the discovery of Sara’s past, the girl who has recently arrived in the convent, talks about it with Sister Teresa who advises her to be confidential. Then, in the episode “The pursuit of happiness”, Sara learns the news about little Elia: Sister Teresa calls the social services and condemns Azzurra’s choice.

Premiering tomorrow at 21.20, the prime time of Rai 2 proposes “The Gentlemen”, in which Guy Ritchie successfully transplants the spectacular and entertaining trend of a Hollywood film into a receptive and amusing British context. Michael Pearson is a colorful London drug kingpin. The man has managed over the years to build a vast network of marijuana cultivation: the plants grow in various greenhouses in the shade of as many noble English villas. Determined to get rid of his estate to get out of illegality, Pearson intends to sell his plantations to some large criminal organization, and thus get clean. But getting out of the loop is never easy. The English director, who had already demonstrated with his Sherlock Holmes that he knows how to handle the mixture of London nuances and Hollywood quantities, also in this film manages to forcefully hook the viewer. The strength of each character and performer also supports the company, from Matthew McConaughey, perfect in the role of a criminal intent on repenting, to Colin Farrell, hilarious and original trainer of amateur fighters, up to Hugh Grant: no one is wrong.

There are few who collect for pure economic investment. Behind the purchase of a work of art there are the simplest human desires: passion, the search for beauty, the affirmation of a social status, the search for one’s identity. The documentary produced by Rai Cultura “The art of passion. Great Italian collectors” by Emanuela Avallone and Linda Tugnoli, broadcast tomorrow at 7.25 pm on Rai 5 The doc proposes a visit to some of the great Italian collections, starting from the “historic” Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, housed in the marvelous Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, overlooking the Grand Canal where the director Karole Vail tells the love of Peggy Guggenheim, her aunt, for art. We then move on to another woman who has always been in love with art: Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, who after a life spent collecting the works of her heart, has opened the doors of her collection in Turin to the public. And again Palermo, where Francesca and Massimo Valsecchi house in the baroque Palazzo Butera alla Kalsa a magnificent collection of works that represent the tops of artistic production from different historical periods and various cultures. They talk about it together with the architect Giovanni Cappelletti and the curator Claudio Gulli. Lavinia Biagiotti shows the Biagiotti Cigna Collection, one of the largest private Italian collections, which her parents Laura and Gianni, moved by a passion for futurist art, have collected in the continuous search for inspiration for their creations. Alessandra Cerasi talks about the Cerasi Collection at Palazzo Merulana in Rome, while Germano “Gerry” Bonetti, a young and visionary Milanese lawyer, will take a look at collecting in the age of social media. Finally, thanks to Guido Guerzoni of the Bocconi University of Milan and Alessandra Di Castro, President of the Associazione Antiquari d’Italia, the doc tries to answer a question: why do we buy art?
On Rai Storia ‘aCdC’ – On Rai Radio3 ‘Radio3 Mondo’
A religious and military order born to defend pilgrims in the Holy Land, which in a short time becomes an international economic power, and then suddenly disappears after two centuries of life, at the beginning of the fourteenth century, leaving a legacy of imaginative legends. “aCdC” – broadcast tomorrow at 21.10 on Rai Storia, with an introduction by Professor Alessandro Barbero – tells “The true story of the Knights Templar”, a series in three episodes which, on the basis of unpublished documents, reconstructs the path of the Order of the Temple: the revolutionary birth of an army of warrior-monks, authorized to kill in the name of God; the creation of an economic and financial empire that precedes the modern ‘Corporations’; the false accusations of the Machiavellian conspiracy that led to their capture, in the largest police operation in history. In the first episode, the origins are reconstructed. The Order of the Knights Templar was born as a religious and military order, in defense of the Christian kingdoms in the Holy Land. They are monks and war professionals at the same time. The special forces of the thirteenth century, subjected exclusively to the Pope. For the first time in history, religious are authorized to kill in the name of God. A “permanent crusade” which requires an unprecedented economic commitment. Donations and privileges make the Templars, masters in the art of generating wealth, a multinational power, bankers of sovereigns and nobles.
