Mario is an Italian TV series conceived by Marcello Macchia, aka Maccio Capatonda, broadcast on the channel MTV from February 28, 2013 to November 25, 2014.

Mario tries in every way to track down his putative father, thanks also to the help of Melany, the daughter of Lord Micidial, initially the journalist's enemy and later his fiancée, but the wicked businessman prevents him.

Micidial takes advantage of this to completely erase his memory with an instrument called "Scordammociopassat", and instructs him to make him a vulgar and corrupt journalist, the opposite of what he was in the past.

Mario therefore becomes a full-fledged Micidial, and the MTG transforms itself from a simple newscast aimed at information into a television program devoted to sponsors and listenings.

In the meantime, the Micidial Corporation, put in serious crisis by the Chinese competition, decides to enter politics and candidates Ginetto as premier, placing him in charge of a party called "Everyone famous".
