Biography of Aldo Biscardi

A very special court

October 26, 1930 Aldo Biscardi, the popular sports writer, was born in Larino, a small town located in the province of Campobasso, in 1930. To make the University moved to Naples: in my heart and in my head has ever soccer dream matches with open eyes and reads everything he can but duty presses and so, making happy the whole family, finally obtained a much sought after graduation. Passionate sports 360 degrees, still dreams of making this his "fever" a profession. Between the job search and the other, therefore, is knocking at doors of some editors, some of them happily welcome him in their ranks as a contributor. An apprenticeship is fundamental to the future development of his career as a sportswriter. In ' 52, for example, we find it in the hallways of the Neapolitan daily paper "Il Mattino", where he remained for some years, and in 1956 the head changes to "Paese Sera", which is its real springboard. Thanks to its vèrve, its organizational capacity and coordinating skills. In fact, soon arrived at the title of editor-in-Chief, instilling in the pages he tours and his collaborators that innovative power which is a distinctive feature of Biscardi then became popular. The visiting "Paese Sera", among other things, it requires a trip to the capital, a great culmination to probe the moods of what happens around (don't forget that in Rome, there is still the most important seat of Rai). Therefore continues his career covering the role of Special Envoy to follow several football World Championship. In this period he began to conceive the idea of a program that, every week, put briskly in comparison football experts, opposing opinions, on one particular aspect of the Championship. In 1979 the lucky break: begins work for television as head of sports programmes of the third network and, 1980, is finally able to realize his dream, launching "the trial on Monday," a title perfectly timed suggested by a sentence of Gianni Rodari, in the preface to a history of sports journalism with the same Biscardi, stated that these "... comes to football such a process". To lead in the studio, first voice of Enrico Ameri radio program "Italian soccer minute by minute" and Novella Calligaris. Aldo Biscardi was directed to fly to voice the entire program that aired in the third night at 22.45. Biscardi introduced the "indictment" that commissioned the then very young journalist Carlo Nesti (which lasted until the process remained in Rai). The formula of the process, so apparently simple and elementary, is in fact a true stroke of genius communicative and managed to catalyse the feelings of an entire nation and serving as the crucible where debate hot topics, chosen with the same wit Biscardi (indifferent and not conditioned with respect to the issues prevailing in the major newspapers). The strength of Biscardi, moreover, is to act as a passionate but moderators steely, a referee who sails with wisdom in the fuss that often debates. In short, the job name is inextricably linked with the name of Biscardi: soon becomes he is the sole holder, instantly recognizable, and the ratings are all on his side. In an interview with Aldo Biscardi was able to declare: "I don't say the fights, then even in Political Forums was the law of the hourglass, three minutes apiece and go. There were no broadcasts on football, apart from the timid moviola invented by Eros Van Wyk and Carlo rocks. I invented the moviolone and sconvolsi calcium with the controversy. For saying that Juve had stolen the scudetto with Roma paid seven-year boycott of Swiss, Sergio Zavoli revealed to me at funerals of Willy De Luca all the pressures received from Agnelli. If I had then the Moviolone now, I would have made tens of millions of listening with the goals disallowed Turone. And then in Rai, I mean, I had some merit in hiring, but no one ever recognizes me. I brought Varriale, Cerqueti, Nesti, Ivana Vaccari, Floriana Bertelli, Carlo Paris, Stella Bruno and Marco Mazzocchi. In short, the renewal of Rai is due to me. " In 1993 the journalist is passed to Telepiù 2, with a contract that binds him until 1996 and with responsibility for the entire palimpsest sports network surcharge, where he revived a program with the same formula of the previous: "Il Processo di Biscardi". From 1996 to 2001, he led the same program and various special editions on TMC. In August 2003 the broadcast airs on new tv channel "La 7", born from the transformation of TMC. Few people know that Biscardi wrote several books including the biography of Pope John Paul II entitled ' the Pope with a human face ". His interest is automatically extended to other sectors, such as literary or artistic. In May 2006, after the end of the season, marked by scandals of wiretaps that involved Luciano Moggi and other leaders of other serie A teams, Biscardi announced the end of her relationship with The 7.
