Hot Off the Press in Italy

Ciao amici,

Come state?

The second episode in my series of interviews with Italians is posted!

I had the honor of sitting down and chatting with former RAI3 Toscana news reporter Gianni Mammoliti about his 35-year long career covering local news throughout Tuscany.

The full interview is found here on my website.

Gianni shares with us the versatility and strength required to cover the wide range of local news while adding his insights about the rapidly changing media landscape in Italy.

We talk about recurring headlines and how they are linked to Italian society. For us visitors to Italy, Gianni covers the ever-growing issue of over tourism and gentrification in Florence and offers some tips for experiencing a more authentic Italian vacation.

Keeping informed about what’s going on in Italy by watching and listening to the daily news is a great habit for learning Italian. Aside from language skills, you get a glimpse of reality in Italy and will be prepared for deeper conversations with Italians.

I hope you tune into this valuable video and perhaps start taking 5-10 minutes a day to scroll through Italian news sources.

Here are a few that are easily accessible:

Ansa.it (Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata)

EuronewsIT via YouTube (World news with a European perspective)

La Repubblica (Italian daily newspaper)

Buona informazione!

Un abbraccio

Lisa
