An outstanding career. A story of the world that passed through New York, Beijing and Paris. Giovanna Botteri, the historic Rai correspondent, is retiring. The announcement came today, on this warm Saturday in June. Usigrai, the union of Rai journalists, dedicated a moving greeting to her, defining her as an icon of the profession and an example for future generations. The professional, however, was keen to reassure all those who were saddened by this communication. “It’s all a bit strange, from today it will be different: I will return to Italy, it is certainly a big change but the change can also be positive”, she confessed to Adnkronos.
The adrenaline in his voice, however, made it clear that it is only the beginning of a phase full of projects. The journalist explained the spirit with which she is preparing to enter this new phase of life. As? Immediately revealing that she has no intention of hanging up her profession: “I think there are those two or three things that I know how to do, and I think I will continue to do them”, she continued. “It’s certainly a big leap, I’ve been living abroad for many years now – explained the reporter, who many remember, among other things, also in a Sanremo a few years ago alongside Amadeus, where she pleasantly tried her hand at the role co-host – But that’s life, it’s also right to take over from young people, to hand over the baton, there are very good young journalists around. It’s a natural rotation.”
