Gramellini's 'in altre parole' tackles politics, putin, and pertini
Massimo Gramellini's weekly talk show, 'In Altre Parole,' returns to La7 this Saturday, March 14, 2026, promising a lively dissection of the week's most pressing issues. Following strong viewership last week, the program aims to delve into everything from international politics to literary insights, all while navigating a television landscape dominated by Sanremo Top and 'C'è Posta per Te'.
Schlein and padellaro analyze current dynamics
This week's episode will feature Elly Schlein, the secretary of the Democratic Party (Pd), joining Gramellini to analyze the complexities of the present. Joining them for a broader perspective on the week’s events is journalist Antonio Padellaro. The conversation promises a sharp examination of Italy’s political landscape, particularly given the looming referendum.
But the discussion isn't confined to domestic affairs. The show intends to tackle broader global concerns.
Referendum debate: sallusti vs. grosso
A key segment will focus on the upcoming March 22nd and 23rd referendum on justice reform. Journalist Alessandro Sallusti and constitutional law professor Enrico Grosso will offer their contrasting viewpoints on a potentially pivotal moment for Italian jurisprudence. The clash of perspectives promises a robust debate.
Beyond the headlines: gassmann, massini, and a diverse panel
Beyond the political heavyweights, Gramellini has assembled a diverse array of guests. Actor and director Alessandro Gassmann, currently starring in the Rai 1 series 'Guerrieri - La regola dell'equilibrio,' will offer insights into the entertainment world. Stefano Massini will present his new book, 'Lo Zar,' which explores the ascent of Vladimir Putin, bringing a stark geopolitical analysis to the table. The program’s reach extends further, incorporating perspectives from journalist and writer Francesca Mannocchi on the ongoing war and musician Rodrigo D’Erasmo, who’s bringing his theatrical work 'Crescere, la guerra' to the stage.
The regular contributors will, as always, enrich the discussion. Alessandra Sardoni will provide her characteristic political commentary, while Giovanna Botteri will offer a global perspective. Saverio Raimondo’s satirical observations, Andrea Nuzzo’s analysis of social media trends, and Jacopo Veneziani’s art history segment, this week dedicated to the iconic Sandro Pertini, round out the program's diverse offerings. President Emeritus of the Corte delle Parole, Gustavo Zagrebelsky, will close the show with his 'Il Perplesso' segment, prompting reflection on significant contemporary issues.
The show's format, while offering space for expansive conversation, demonstrates a clear understanding of the audience's appetite for both depth and breadth.
