Five evenings of debate and analysis, in the presence of seven well-known faces of Italian politics and journalism, to shine a spotlight on current events and orient oneself in the continuous changes of today’s society, but also to get to know seven protagonists of contemporary information more closely.
Francesco Borgonovo, Marcello Sorgi, Augusto Minzolini, Sergio Rizzo, Francesco Giubilei, Diego Fusaro and Federico Pizzarotti. Characters who, in very different ways from each other, represent excellences in professionalism, competence, experience and preparation, qualities that have allowed them to catalyze success and unanimous appreciation over the years.
Seven great guests who, in the evenings between Wednesday 28 August and Sunday 1 September, will be the protagonists of the L’IMBOSCATA AL MARE review, the series of meetings promoted by the Municipality of Crotone and conducted by the journalist Federico Casanova. The event will take place in the splendid setting of the Parco Orto Tellini in Crotone and each evening will begin at 9 pm.
The interviews will have the classic “face to face” format, in which Federico Casanova – author and television host for Mediaset, Radio Radicale and Gazzetta di Parma – will dialogue with the guests on current affairs and news topics, creating food for collective discussion and reflection, involving the audience in the stalls and exposing the interviewees’ strengths and weaknesses.
