Daniela Santanchè's gaffe
Luchino Visconti? No, the Leopard and of Lucchini! The author of the gaffe is the Minister of Tourism, Daniela Santanché, during the inaugural ceremony of the General States of Cinema in Syracuse. The minister, evidently struck by a slip of the tongue, mistakenly attributed the film to a certain Lucchini rather than to the director Luchino Visconti.
In detail, speaking with journalists about the cinematographic scenarios of Sicily, the minister, currently under investigation in Milan for false accounting, declared: “I don't think anyone can forget Lucchini's The Leopard.” However, she immediately corrected the name from the stage, specifying: “I said Lucchini and not Visconti”, anticipating that the error would be the subject of discussion in the newspapers.
