Overview
- Speaking on RAI1's La Volta Buona, Giancarlo Magalli said Baudo gave his private number only to select people and told assistant Dina Minna, "Don't put her through" when Ricciarelli called.
- Magalli rejected claims that Baudo was isolated, saying he withdrew when unwell, had ongoing health issues, and was progressively losing his sight.
- He denied any romantic relationship between Baudo and Minna, describing her as essential support and "home" for the presenter in a non‑romantic sense.
- Ricciarelli told Verissimo she could not reach her ex‑husband because access was filtered by the secretary, said she learned of his death from the media, and criticized Minna's behavior at the mortuary.
- Il Fatto Quotidiano reported that Minna received a share of Baudo’s inheritance, a detail that has featured in the public dispute following his death on August 16.
