La Poste

After the government, La Poste is the second biggest employer in France. Enzo Iacchetti, one of the hosts, has currently a relationship with Maddalena Corvaglia, a velina from a previous edition of Striscia. In addition to postal services, it also offers banking services and, via Chronopost, courier services. They are considered the ideal match for prominent soccer players and therefore a role-model for many young viewers. It also operates the postal service in Monaco, while in Andorra, it operates postal services alongside those of Spain. Often criticized by high-brow critics and feminists as the symbol of trash-TV, the veline are, however, much more likely to be sought by producers of Italian soap operas, TV series or shows after just one year on Striscia than any other female candidates. La Poste postage stamps are valid for use in the Overseas Departments, but not in the Territorial Collectivities, which issue their own stamps, separate from metropolitan France. Veline's name (invented by the co-founders and their producer) nowadays is often attributed (often disparagingly) to any famous girls on TV with little or no intellectual gifts.

La Poste is the mail service of France, which also operates postal services in the French Overseas Departments of Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique and French Guiana, and the territorial collectivities of Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Mayotte. Once even Rai Uno Director Fabrizio Del Noce, cornered by Staffelli banged his microphone on his face breaking his nose. Other times, however, the bodyguards have been known to have acted aggressively breaking the reporters' noses and camcorders alike. Although many personalities take it in front of the cameras in the hope of getting attention for themselves, others run away and Valerio Staffelli, a special correspondent for the show, has to run after them until they finally take it. The Tapiro d'Oro (English language: Golden Tapir), a small golden statue, is a special "prize" delivered to big celebrities or politicians who have been humiliated or defeated.

Like in "Veline", women heve to dance and make little sketches and on september the new "velona" will be chosen. "Velone" (that means "big velina"), is a contest only for women over 50/60 (some were almost 100!).

The program is called "Veline", but there's also another program like this: "Velone". The names of the veline are known after a long beauty pageant on summer. The veline have become the most popular female icons on Italian TV. These dancers probably evolved from the scantily-clad waitresses who served at the tables of Drive-in, the show that made Greggio and D'Angelo widely known in the late eighties.

They usually perform in swimming-suits or tank tops, singing a pop song as they dance. The term "velina" comes from the name of a type of paper, thin and light, used by journalists These are two girls in their low-twenties, one blonde, the other brunette: once they showed up to hand the news, but today they perform short dance breaks or stacchetti always ending on the table of the news anchors. Always loud, braggart but pungent in his naive but straightforward ways, butts in everywhere he sees new friends to chat with a childlike enthusiasm always running after the veline, is in some ways like the Cokney type in comedies. Gabibbo is a caricature of the layman of Southern Italian origin, a low-income worker who lives near the docks of Genoa.

The Gabibbo, an Italian cultural icon acts as the mascot and is the soul of the show. . Usually Ezio Greggio (who co-founded the show with D'Angelo) is assisted by another comedian (as Enzo Iacchetti) for the winter season, after which there is a change of guard. The program is produced by Antonio Ricci and is hosted by two major comedians.

Founded in 1987, it is meant to be a parody of the daily news, which airs right before the program, but Striscia also satirizes government corruption and exposes scams with the help of local reporters who are also comedians. Its name in Italian translates to "sneaking into the news", a probable allusion to the Biscione, the snake which is part of Canale 5's logo. Striscia la notizia is an Italian television program on the Mediaset-controlled Canale 5. 2005/2006.
