The entertainment world mourns the passing of Enrica Bonaccorti, the TV host who died today at the age of 76. The Nuovo Imaie wanted to remember her, emphasizing how for many years she entered our homes with "face, voice, irony, intelligence, and naturalness", defining her as a figure "cultured, never banal" who will be deeply missed by all.

Also publicly bidding her farewell is her friend Mara Venier, who dedicated an emotional message to her: "My Enrica, you will always be with me". Pierluigi Diaco also celebrated her memory: "Enrica distinguished herself for her passion, education, regal spirit, and elegance. Ingredients that she managed to transform into television grammar". To honor her career, Diaco announced a special episode of BellaMa', airing today at 4 PM on Rai2, where her last interview will be replayed.

"Enrica will always be a part of my life". This is how Yvonne Sciò remembers her.

Together, in 1991, they hosted the first edition of 'Non è la Rai' along with Antonella Elia.

With a voice choked with tears, she speaks of her kindness and her pure soul. Working "in the world of television is not easy, there is always someone who wants to trip you up, but she managed to face everything without ever complaining, while raising her daughter Verdiana on her own. I saw myself in her in many ways".

Her lesson? ""Always be yourself". She kept repeating it to me. It's a phrase that has stayed with me", Sciò recounts.

The last memory dates back a few months ago when she came to visit me at my beach house. I had prepared a picnic on the grass for her. Before leaving, she hugged me and said 'Let's hope to see each other again'. I hope she didn't suffer", she concludes.
