died in the night at the age of 93 Angelo Guglielmi. He died in his sleep. There will be many TV characters who will remember him and miss him. Because he had given a second life not only to an entire Rai network, but to many conductors who owe him success and career. Angelo Guglielmi was director of Rai3 from 1987 to 1994. He took the network from Giuseppe Rossini, a channel with low audience ratings (the average share of the network passes in a few years from less than 1% to over 10%), who did not have a editorial line, and transforms it into a dynamic and innovative network that will remain a unicuum in the history of Italian television. Thanks to him – who knew how to combine pop and cultured TV and who was the first to introduce the concept of TV-truth in Italy – programs such as Yellow telephone, Samarkand, Hot line, A day in the district court, The girls’ TV, Blob, Who saw it ?, Lubrano sent me (later became Mi manda Raitre), I confess, Magazine 3, Leftovers, Last minute, Those than football (passed in 1998 on Rai 2), Tunnels and cursed stories. Characters such as Corrado Augias, Michele Santoro, Donatella Raffai, Roberta Petrelluzzi, Serena Dandini, Fabio Fazio, Piero Chiambretti, Giuliano Ferrara, Daniele Luttazzi and Franca Leosini are launched. In addition to being an executive, he was a literary critic, essayist and journalist.

When he turned 90 in 2019, many people interviewed him, and he told of his love for TV, a story that began in 1955. My mother listening to the radio The masked motif conducted by Mike Bongiorno, he learns that Rai has launched a competition for authors and programmers in view of the inauguration (scheduled for that May) of Italian television, Guglielmi says in his latest book of “Sparse tales”. From there begins an extraordinary career (in which the beginnings have always been hard for me, because I lack immediate sympathy) that has placed him right in the history of public television by linking his name to “experimentalism”

Raccont: When I started directing Rai3, I had no models to inspire me: I had to venture into risks, then discovering skills that I had but of which I did not foresee the points of excellence touched, and recognized by others. In 1987 it was Walter Veltroni who wanted me, whom I recognize as a great politician, a man who loved those he considered worthy and intelligent, an authentic expert and attentive connoisseur of television and cinema.

next to the backbone of Rai3, Who has seen? he was certain that
will last for many more years still. Even those that football was invented by Guglielmi. I tell: The basic structure of Quelli che il calcio … was proposed to me by the sports journalist Marino Bartoletti, then with Fabio Fazio, overcoming certain of our improper uncertainties, it became the extraordinary program che stato, in which for the first time Fazio showed his great talent , then confirmed to date in many other broadcasts.
