Because there was only ONE MOSCONI! The Last of Mosconi: • The LAST of MOSCONI Germano Mosconi (San Bonifacio, 11 November 1932) was an Italian journalist and television host. Biography: He was one of the most famous television personalities in north-eastern Italy in the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to his work as a journalist and presenter of the news program for the Veronese broadcaster TeleNuovo during the period in which Hellas Verona won the championship. He was known for his elegance and calmness in front of the cameras. In 1982 he won the Cesare D'Oro international award for journalistic merit. In 2004 he was the subject of a particular story that made him famous throughout Italy and abroad. An unknown source published on the Internet various off-air clips from old recordings of the news (dating back to the early 90s), which showed Mosconi's angry reactions to various disturbances that caused filming to stop (the involuntary entry of people into the studio, various noises, news written on poorly understandable or badly assembled sheets of paper). The extensive use of curses, insults, colorful language in Venetian, and the clever editing, which made it spontaneously comic, determined a huge diffusion of the video on the Internet, transforming the journalist into an involuntary and irreverent comic relief. Within a short time, websites, forums and fan pages dedicated to him were created. Along with the original videos, numerous redubs began to circulate on the Internet in which the journalist's curses were superimposed on scenes from films, cartoons, television programs and even the election of Pope Benedict XVI. He died on March 1, 2012, at the age of 79, following a long illness.
