"Con la nostra programmazione - ha detto Fabrizio Ferragni, direttore di Rai Italia -proviamo a far mantenere agli italiani all'estero il legame con il proprio territorio di origine. La Rai è il miglior strumento possibile per far conoscere l'Italia, per promuovere il nostro Paese, i nostri prodotti, la nostra cultura e la nostra identità. “Pizzagirls” si inserisce tra i programmi che pensiamo possano essere di maggiore interesse. Verrà visto in tutti i 174 paesi che copriamo dei cinque continenti a seconda dei fusi orari. Pensiamo in futuro anche a un canale interamente dedicato al genere food. Ad oggi il canale di Rai Italia, arrivato da ultimo in Gran Bretagna e Spagna in ordine di tempo, è visibile in 40 milioni di case nel mondo".
This journey has been anything but easy. Challenging gender stereotypes in the heart of Italy, the undisputed home of pizza, has required courage and tenacity. The stories I've discovered along this journey have revealed a world of creativity, passion, and innovation that have inspired me and deserved to be told. I'd like to thank, first and foremost, Rai Italia and Rai Pubblicità for believing in our project, especially the wonderful family of the Foreign Offering Department, from Director Fabrizio Ferragni to Deputy Director Gianfranco Zinzilli , and Production Delegate Daniela Ughetta , who supported us throughout the production process. I thank my entire young crew, the group of writers led by Tommaso Martinelli , Sacha Lunatici, Luigi Miliucci , and Maria Grazia Pignata, and especially Professor Angelo Maietta, with whom we are developing major initiatives for the cross-media development of the " PizzaGirls " brand. Finally, the most important thanks go to all the sponsors who have allowed us to realize this 2024 season in the best possible way. said Carlo Fumo , creator and director of the program.
