Hot librarian at Bologna's Salaborsa deplores online

Game, set, match, as one would say in tennis jargon: the real winner of the controversy surrounding Rai Due’s program Detto fatto for the “tutorial” on how to shop sexy is the “sexy librarian” of Bologna’s Salaborsa Library.

First, a quick reconnaissance for those who may have missed the controversy: on Tuesday, the famous Rai Due program, which administers “tutorials” to participants, aired one featuring pole dancer Emily Angelillo who, in a miniskirt and high heels, explained how to move in an “intriguing” way at the supermarket while shopping. The program, hosted by Bianca Guaccero, has been engulfed in a storm: many have criticized the program because they claim it reiterated the cliché of the sexualized woman’s body, while defenders believe that the skit was clearly ironic and that, in any case, a woman has full right to move in a sensual manner in any context. The program has currently been suspended but there are already those who are talking about possible closure.

And on the controversy this afternoon here comes the post on the Facebook page of Bologna’s Salaborsa Library, the library hub inaugurated in 2001 in Piazza del Nettuno, inside Palazzo d’Accursio, inside what was the Bologna Stock Exchange in the 19th century. In fact, one of the librarians portrayed himself with the same motions as Emily Angelillo while searching for books among the shelves. The result was nothing short of hilarious and diluted, with sympathetic irony, the fierce controversy of recent days. And the results rewarded the resourcefulness of the “sexy librarian”: as of five o’clock this afternoon, almost four thousand likes on Facebook and hundreds of shares. “The official tutorial for being a real sexy librarian,” the Library wrote on Facebook. Well-deserved likes!
