“No more illusions, I’m going back to being a truck driver” – Corriere.it

From lorry driver to Roman palaces, to return to driving lorries again: this is the path of Nik the Black, former backbone of Five Star communication. Nicola Virzì told about his choice on social media after ten years spent in the rooms of parliamentary groups, both in the Chamber and in the Senate. Raised in the Bolognese meet-up, video-maker for passion, Nik il Nero had joined the staff – also supported by Gianroberto Casaleggio – after the boom in Politics in 2013. Salary of 4,000 euros a month according to rumors at the time and a flood of internal controversy.

Now, six months after the 2022 Policies, after not having received confirmation of his role in the Movement, he wrote: “In the end I decided, in a few days I will go back on a truck to do what I know how to do, drive a truck”. And he explains: «I had the illusion that I could be a photographer, I believed in it and I tried in every possible way, but evidently the class was all water». The role played among the starred also “weighs” on the curriculum: “To say that you have worked for almost 10 years in the 5-star Movement is castrating, it does not give any kind of advantage (indeed), when they asked me what you have done in recent years I could not what can I say, I worked in communication for the Movement, first in the Senate and then in the Chamber of Deputies, the face of those in front of me changed tragically».

Nik the Black, who for the Movement with the late Matteo Incerti chased the then director of Tg1 Mario Orfeo, he claims he has no regrets, “because regrets are those who have not given everything they had to give and have not put passion and love into what they have done”. Patience, in the end it’s okay, deep down I’ve always loved driving since I was a child, do you know what my dream was? Being a pilot. In the end he seems to have succeeded great (and the truck is also red). Accepting who I am freed me from illusions and from a world that no longer belonged to me, it was hard but I succeeded».
