A panel inspired by the legendary Drive, an Italian comedy television programme conceived and written by Antonio Ricci and broadcast weekly in prime time on Italia 1I from 1983 to 1988. The title of the panel refers to the story of the showgirl Tinì Cansino, whose real name is Photina Lappa, born in Greece, in Volos. At the age of nineteen, during a holiday in Italy, she was noticed by Alberto Tarallo, a television drama producer and entertainment agent at the time, who introduced her to the world of television and suggested that she adopt the stage name Tinì Cansino, noting her resemblance to the American diva Rita Hayworth, whose real surname was Cansino. For a long time, the press and public opinion believed that she was related to the Hollywood actress.
In some cases, the writing is on separate, overlapping signed sheets.
