Overview
- Mid‑July draft palinsesti circulated to the press do not list Pietrangelo Buttafuoco's ten‑minute Radio1 show Lupus in fabula in the 06:50–07:00 slot, putting the program at risk of removal.
- Those draft schedules are provisional and final programming will be completed and published by Rai in September, so the current omission can still change.
- Corriere.it is reported to have told Buttafuoco that the time slot would be "destinata ad altro," a claim carried by multiple outlets but not confirmed by Rai.
- The reports come after a heated dispute over Buttafuoco's role as president of the Fondazione Biennale Venezia, including his decision to reopen the Russian pavilion and the European Commission's withdrawal of about €2 million in funding.
- Coverage differs by outlet: right‑leaning papers frame the move as an editorial purge of a provocative voice while left‑leaning outlets stress the provisional nature of the draft and the lack of official confirmation; the main developments to watch are any statement from Rai and the final September palinsesto.
