Death, Italian Style

[Sideik 236]

Giampiero Galeazzi a.k.a. Bisteccone (Big Steak) a veery big name in italian sport journalism is dead at 75. In 2018 went under my radar when he said in tv he was in his last 500 meters (with reference to rowing), in fact he was suffering from a severe form of diabetes which led him to death this morning. His commentary of the Seul's 1988 gold medal of the Abbagnale brothers was absolutely memorable.

Noted journalist and former minister Giuliano Ferrara serious but stable after heart attack.

 

Giuliano Ferrara is quite a running joke in Italy for his obesity and anti-abortion stances.

Unfortunately, a young Italian actress died during the night involved in a road accident: it’s about Ludovica Bargellini girl of 35 years born in Pistoia and living in Rome, the city where unfortunately the tragedy took place.

The accident is happened at one in the morning, and although the dynamics and reasons are not very clear, among the hypotheses there is also that of a sleepiness that would have hit her and led her to crash into the wall.

Ludovica Bargellini, among other jobs, had also collaborated with Sorrentino for The Young Popethe TV series on Sky Atlantic.

Voiceover artist Carlo Bonomi puts the mic down aged 85. He was the original voice of Pingu globally, among others, but for me he'll always be the argot of the mighty La Linea.
