Journalist, writer. He was born in Turin, where he began to collaborate with the Giornale Radio. He was a correspondent for RAI in Paris and Brussels for 13 years, then host of the first TG in Rome. Attracted by the rationality of science, and struck by the lack of scientific culture in our country, he decided to dedicate himself exclusively to an intense activity of popularization. He has produced hundreds of television programs (in particular, since 1981, the Quark column, still on air). He has written 36 books with a total circulation of over 3 million copies. For his work he has received ten honorary degrees. Journalist, writer. He was born in Turin, where he began to collaborate with the Giornale Radio.
