Maradona Jr. on “Verissimo”: Memories of His Father and Updates on the Trial Regarding His Death

Diego Armando Maradona is back in the television spotlight through his son’s words. On Sunday, November 1, starting at 3:45 p.m., Diego Armando Maradona Jr. will be a guest on Silvia Toffanin’s show “Verissimo” on Canale 5 to remember his father, who passed away in November 2020, and discuss a legal case that continues to raise questions and spark interest. During the interview, the son of the legendary Argentine champion will reflect on his relationship with his father and provide an update on the latest developments in the trial involving members of the medical team responsible for his care prior to his death. This is a particularly significant episode for the many soccer fans who continue to cherish the memory of one of the greatest players of all time.

Maradona Jr.’s appearance is one of the highlights of this weekend’s two-part episode of Silvia Toffanin’s talk show, airing Saturday, October 31, at 4:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 1, at 3:45 p.m. The Sunday episode will also feature Francesca Chillemi and Rodrigo Guirao, stars of the third season of “Viola come il mare,” set to premiere on Canale 5 on November 4. The two actors will discuss their professional careers and the latest developments regarding the series. Also joining the studio will be dancer and choreographer Emanuel Lo, Antonella Elia—who is ready to discuss the delicate surgery she recently underwent—and Delia Duran, wife of Alex Belli, who is currently competing on “Grande Fratello Vip.”

Special attention will also be given to the case of David Rossi, the former head of communications at Monte dei Paschi di Siena who died on March 6, 2013, after falling from his office window. Appearing together for the first time in a television interview, Silvia Toffanin will welcome Antonella Tognazzi and Carolina Orlandi, Rossi’s wife and stepdaughter, respectively. Thirteen years after the tragedy, following two dismissals that had attributed the death to suicide, the Florence District Anti-Mafia Directorate has reopened the investigation, treating the case as a homicide. The two women will share their testimonies on television about a case that continues to be the focus of judicial and media attention.

The Saturday program, airing at 4:30 p.m., will feature a series of interviews dedicated to the private and professional lives of well-known figures. Among the guests will be Massimo Gramellini, a journalist and writer who will appear in the “Verissimo” studio for the first time alongside his wife, Simona Sparaco. There will also be a segment with Francesca Michielin, who will discuss her artistic and personal evolution and present her new album, “Magia bianca, Magia nera.” Silvia Toffanin will also meet with Valeria Fabrizi, who, at ninety years old, will look back on some of the most significant moments of her life, sharing memories, career highlights, and personal relationships.

There will also be updates on family matters that have captured the public’s attention. Evelina Sgarbi will be a guest to discuss her father Vittorio’s health, while Natasha Stefanenko and her husband Luca Sabbioni will share the story of a love that has lasted over thirty years. Finally, there will also be time for Francesca and Sabrina, stars of “Temptation Island,” who will update viewers on their respective romantic situations following their experience on the show. It will be a weekend full of personal testimonies and stories, with particular anticipation surrounding the remarks of Diego Armando Maradona Jr., who will be asked to remember his father and shed light on the legal developments surrounding his death.
