Few people can understand my pleasure, and the strength I'm getting from the sudden Identità on the road, from one end of Italy to the other, a country once again hit by Covid and once again in distress. I'm proud of the commitment that all of us at Identità are putting in our new idea, which is also a challenge because everything is new and designed in a short amount of time.

I love this version of Identità on the road. It takes me back to twenty years ago, when I worked for Il Giornale and nobody would have imagined that in the new century internet and television would have heavily reduced the importance of the press, and changed the very way we follow sport events. For those who like me followed most of all football and skiing, work trips were a long-life elixir.

These travels, following Tomba or its equivalent, the cold outdoors, waiting for the rehearsals, the colleague who asked you for a lift and is really slow at writing and you wait though you're ready, those were moments that the editorial teams didn't know and so they didn't understand. And then it happened that some of them were assigned a more colourful piece, and with Tomba this was almost always the case. And what a discovery! They realised that it was much more than a one-hour race. And we, who were regulars in the snow circus, exchanged mocking smiles. Identità on the road has made those dormant memories alive once more.
