Marzia Apice of
ANSA described Fagnani's driving style as "ironic and biting", and wrote that it is "difficult to sit on
Belve stool, and not only because it is uncomfortable, but because you have to accept an interview that is a kind of tug-of-war".
Il Messaggero described
Belve as the most feared seat on Italian television, as Fagnani does not take it easy on anyone. Andrea Parrella of
Fanpage.it described
Belve as "the television translation of the most successful format of the moment: the podcast", allowing Fagnani to "gossip without getting [her] hands dirty." Mario Manca of
Vanity Fair Italia complimented Fagnani's "biting but very elegant style", and Beatrice Dondi of ''
L'Espresso'' called Fagnani "very incisive", with the ability to give "few concessions to sentimentality and real attention to questions". In her
podcast, called
Belve "overrated", and suggested that Fagnani is more interested in the show making news and generating
sound bites than producing a program that is "enjoyable in its entirety". Lucarelli added, "It's a formula designed to enhance the personality of the interviewer: you go there to make the host win." ==
