Out of line
Childhood in the left-wing province of Emilia Romagna and the burden left behind by a fascist grandfather. The first steps in the world of journalism with Indro Montanelli. First coveted escape to the ever-bristling Milan and than to kickback Rome. The life-threatening experience as a war correspondent in Somalia. The encounters with the stars of entertainment, politics and current affairs, from Monica Bellucci to Lady Diana, from Rosy Bindi to the Princes of Savoy, from Vittorio Cecchi Gori to Silvio Berlusconi, Giuliana Sgrena, Ilaria Alpi, Antonio Di Pietro, Umberto Bossi. Italy’s recent history, its politics, its changes – all in the autobiographical tale of a real free hitter, always ready to step out of line, even at the cost of standing alone against everyone else.
