ROMA. The controversy over the residence in Monte Carlo of Jannik Sinner returns to the center of the debate, but this time it is Paolo Bertolucci who takes a position. «Everyone should think more about their own business, everyone manages their life as they prefer, respecting the laws», declared the former tennis player and television commentator, speaking on “A Sheep’s Day”, the Rai Radio1 broadcast hosted by Geppi Cucciari e Giorgio Lauroin response to the words of Maurizio Landini. Bertolucci then dismissed the question bluntly: «Do you have the possibility of going to Monte Carlo? If you want to do it, you’re right to do it.”
The declarations arrive after the intervention of the general secretary of the CGIL, who in recent days, again during the radio broadcast, had called Sinner into question in relation to his proposal for a 1.3 percent capital tax. Half-jokingly, Landini had invited the tennis player to join the measure, linking the issue to tax residence in the Principality.
The choice to live in Monte Carlo, common to many high-level players such as Lorenzo Musetti e Matteo Berrettinihas long been the subject of public discussion. Landini, a tennis enthusiast, had expressed appreciation for Sinner’s sporting qualities, while underlining that he preferred, from a technical point of view, the game of Musetti.o Carlos Alcaraz.
Responding to a request from the presenter Giorgio Lauro, the union leader then stated that, even in the presence of an asset, “those who have large assets are still rich”, adding that a greater contribution could represent “an element of citizenship”. The reflection ended with a joke: “It’s enough for him to win a few tournaments and he’ll get back with the interest.”
