From The new Braidese of 12/09/2010
journalistic experience not to relive the wire dell'amarcord, but by the lucidity and irony, with the taste still intact for the pursuit of detail and details ; these are the basic motives of the volume written by Carlo Coscia, entitled "Give me the stenographers. Diary of a witnessed, "published by the Turin pangram Books, the choice of title can hardly be called random, because it recalls a time when journalism was done with the lead, without the use of ultra-fast fiber-optic, assuming confrontation with directors and racing against the clock to send the piece in print as soon as possible. Coscia, a native of Alexandria, but from time to transplant Costigliole d'Asti between the Langhe and Monferrato, went from a good player and a master's degree in philosophy, he wrote for thirty years in the pages of "La Stampa" telling the most important events sports (to his credit there are 12 Olympic and 13 world championships, four of which calcium): a substantial sum of this career is contained in the pages of his latest editorial that does not have precise geographic setting as it takes her place, literally, to the four corners of the planet. Characters as Falcao, Tomb, Agassi, Platini, Deborah Compagnoni, Mike Tyson and many others are described not only in their purely sporting dimension, but also framed in a human context. Not only sport, however, but also stories of pieces of history like walking on the roofs of dissidents in Buenos Aires during the military dictatorship and bloody in the streets of Prague in turmoil in 1977, California's conversations with Joe Rosenthal the Pulitzer Prize and a roundup faces, stories and anecdotes reconstructed with minutiae, just as you would expect a reporter to race.
