Maurizio Mosca

During the show, in addition to expressing opinions, Mosca played the role of satirical opportunist, inspired by the latest news from the world of football.

He made his entrance on stage dressed in an apron, brandishing tagliatelle around the time of the "Case Lipopill" (when the players Andrea Carnevale and Angelo Peruzzi had attributed their failed drugs tests to dietary suppressant medication).

During the years of the great A.C. Milan team coached by Arrigo Sacchi, lit up by the magic of the Dutch trio Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Frank Rijkaard, Mosca became a supporter of the "game to zone" and "total football".

He was sufficiently successful to guarantee himself a position as a regular guest and pundit on Guida al Campionato (Guide to the Championship), a Sunday show hosted by a young Sandro Piccinini.

One of his programmes intended for a wider audience was L'Appello del Martedì (The appeal of the Tuesday), in which he would appear on stage dressed in magistrate's robes and headgear.

Mosca played himself in Neri Parenti's movies Paparazzi (1998) and Tifosi (1999), and he wrote an autobiographical book titled La vita é rotonda... come un pallone da calcio (Life is round... like a football), published by Rizzoli in 2001.
