ANSA journalist Francesco Bongarrà on
Tuesday took over at the helm of the Italian Culture Institute
in London.
'Siculo-Scotsman' Bongarrà, 49, was ANSA's chief parliamentary
reporter for over 20 years having started out at the Times'
foreign desk, and got a special farewell from the House Speaker
recently. He also served in other ANSA bureaux including Buenos
Aires.
Bongarrà, who lectures in parliamentary journalism at Rome's
LUMSA University, replaces Katia Pizzi.
"Our main goal is to give space to the best of our country's
cultural and creative world, valorizing not only the traditional
elements that everyone knows but also by promoting an all-round
knowledge of an Italy which, while conscious of its past, looks
with confidence and courage to the challenges of the future,"
Bongarrà said in a letter with which he took up his new post.
