Clamorous gaffe of D'Urso live: "Syracuse, a lost village in the South"

During transmission Sunday Live, aired yesterday, March 9, the presenter Barbara D "Urso made a rather ridiculous gaffe that is making the rounds of the web and that has raised a lot of criticism. In fact, it is not a question of Freudian slips, carelessness or funny" ducks ", but a real mistake that would make all listeners pale. The D "Urso was in fact talking about Matteo Renzi's visit to the" Salvatore Raiti "school in Syracuse, and in describing the city, the Neapolitan presenter used these words more than inappropriate: "Syracuse is a remote village in Sicily, a forgotten center of Southern Italy".

Obviously, the controversies of the viewers were immediate, stunned and shocked by the clamorous gaffe of the presenter. Even the mayor of the city, Giancarlo Garozzo, said he was embittered by what was said live on TV by D "Urso, so much so that he wanted to specify the following:" ... Syracuse, incidentally, is the fourth city of art of Italy after Rome, Venice and Florence for cultural heritage present in its territory. And to know this, and above all to avoid such a sensational gaffe in front of millions of viewers, which has broadened its scope, it was unnecessary to consult who knows what dusty volumes but it was enough to take a peek at wikipedia ... ".

Maybe it would take a nice refresher in geography for the presenter of Canale 5, if she doesn't want to make other unforgivable fools and fill the house with a myriad of tapirs, which we are sure will arrive shortly.
