Few words about me

I have been the Middle East Bureau Chief of Rai, the Italian public TV network, since 2003. The most recent events that I have covered include: the war in Gaza, the Second Lebanese War, the terror attacks in Jordan and Sinai, the assassination of former Lebanese PM Hariri, the Israeli disengagement from Gaza Strip and the Hamas took over, the Second Intifada.

I have columns on the on line newspaper L’Occidentale (“L’Orientale”) and on Prima Comunicazione (“Lettera da Gerusalemme”). Previously, I served as a foreign correspondent of Rai in France, as chief of the foreign desk and special envoy of Tg2, reporter of Stampa Sera, Paese Sera and Gazzetta del Popolo.

In 2009, I was awarded with the Italian “Saint Vincent Award” for the balanced coverage of the Middle East conflict.
