Biagi

Born in Lizzano in Belvedere, Italy, in 1920, Enzo Biagi built a long career as a journalist, writer, and television presenter. He began working in journalism in Bologna and stayed active for decades, becoming one of the best-known public voices in Italian media.

Alongside his newspaper and television work, he wrote around eighty books. His career included leading Epoca magazine as editor-in-chief, and he received major honors such as the Saint Vincent prize, the Ischia International Journalism Award, and the Premio Bancarella.

Biagi remained an influential figure in Italian public life through the late 20th century and into the 2000s. He died in Milan in 2007, leaving behind a body of work closely tied to Italy’s modern history and political culture.
