Angelo Madonia Reflects On Departure From Ballando Con Le Stelle

The dance master speaks out about his dismissal and the impact on his career during Domenica In appearance.

Angelo Madonia, the renowned dancer and former dance partner of Federica Pellegrini on the Italian talent show Ballando con le Stelle, made headlines after his surprising dismissal from the program. During his appearance on Domenica In, hosted by Mara Venier, Madonia opened up about his experience, sharing thoughts on his departure and the professional respect he maintained throughout his time on the show.

Madonia expressed his contentment for Pellegrini's success, stating, "I'm happy for the result achieved by Federica. I feel involved. And I’m also glad for the victory of Bianca and Giovanni." This sentiment was evident as he entered the studio, appearing calm and relaxed even amid recent events.

Reflecting on why he chose to remain silent until now, Madonia remarked, "It was a form of respect for the program and the person I supported for weeks. Until yesterday, she was on a professional path to which I contributed." His candidness provided insight, as he revealed his discontent with the manner of his dismissal, describing it as deeply disappointing not to receive acknowledgment for his years of dedication to the show.

"I was left disillusioned at the finale. Not being considered for the work I did. My behavior annulled the years and sacrifices I invested in Ballando con le Stelle," Madonia lamented. He clarified the reasons behind his dismissal, citing communication received from the production team, which implied his actions had strayed from the program's policies concerning the jury's integrity.

During the previous episode of Domenica In, Pellegrini noted there was a "missed call" or lack of contact from Madonia, prompting curiosity about their communication. Madonia clarified, "I did not expect it. There was never any clash or discussion with Federica. We were always getting along well." This statement put to rest any rumors of discord between the two partners, emphasizing their collaborative efforts on the show.

Continuing, Madonia recounted how he was informed of his dismissal midway through Ballando, noting it was unexpected, especially after 20 years of service. "You get fired during the program after two decades. You have to face the truth," he reflected, showcasing the emotional turmoil of such abrupt career changes.

The public interest piqued with the mention of Sonia Bruganelli, as Madonia noted, "I was distracted by my work, my role, and not by my relationship with Sonia, which has ironically become subject matter for Ballando." This indicated the media interest surrounding his personal life, which overshadowed his professional achievements.

For Madonia, the latest season represented a closure for him: "For me, it was the last edition of Ballando; I had already decided," he stated. He conveyed this sentiment to Milly Carlucci, the show’s host, acknowledging the bittersweet end to his career on the show. "The future is now. At 40, you also close some circles professionally. I'm happy because I respected my standards and values as a professional and as a man," he concluded, leaving the audience with thoughts of his next steps.
