NOTIZIE SU UNA COLLABORAZIONE GIORNALISTICA POCO NOTA DI ANNA MARIA ORTESE

Abstract

The article highlights two bibliographic cards related to two writings by Anna Maria Ortese, both of which appeared on the pages of the sports weekly Il Campione in 1955, i.e. the year in which Ortese followed the Giro d'Italia with Marcello Venturi as a correspondent for L'Europeo. In particular, the contribution analyses the first text dedicated to Fausto Coppi. The champion's alternating sporting and personal events are interpreted by Ortese from a sociological perspective; in fact, the article denounces the irrationality of some opinions in the press, and above all the behaviour of the humbler classes, ready to deny what their idol was.
