The TV of the last 30 years is told by Conti - first with the eyes of the viewer and then with those devoted to insider - which pins nicely to Mike the 'blame ' (hence the title of the work ) to have given birth in the eighties with the entrepreneur Berlusconi's commercial TV ( that Fininvest what would become the great reality of Mediaset) and have made him love the TV so as to induce him to work .
" This is the story - Conti explains in the preface - the way in which a great passion can tie a fan inextricably to their favorite television show. At the same time these pages are intended as a message for all those who believe strongly in an ideal undeterred by the difficulties encountered along the way . "
Nicholas, son of the presenter passed away suddenly on September 8, 2009 , argues that the story told by Conti " My dad would have loved to . His story has the feel of a fairy tale with a happy ending , it is the path of a man who believed in his dream. "
Special mention to the ' About Mike ' the different chapters, or pages where different characters - some famous, others less known to the public - recalling anecdotes of Mike who have personally known : the presenters Pippo Baudo, Fabio Fazio and the valleys Susanna Fiorello Message Antonella Elia , Miriam Trevisan, the authors Ludovico Peregrini , Alvise and Davide Borghi Tortorella directors Mario Bianchi and Tiziana Martinengo up to the closest collaborators.
Part of the proceeds from sales of the book - the first step of a broader publishing project that will include a virtual media library with all the hours of television Mike - support social projects of the Foundation Mike Bongiorno .
