Rino Icardi, the journalist of Tutto il calcio minute by minute died – Football

With Rino Icardi, died in Rome at the age of 85, another architect of a transmission that entered Italian popular culture is gone. Icardi, born in Alessandria was in fact a historical voice of “All football minute by minute” together with Roberto Bortoluzzi, Sandro Ciotti and Enrico Ameri. A career that began by collaborating with the Gazzetta dello Sport before joining Rai at a very young age.

Eclectic journalist, often following the Giro d’Italia but also the World Cup and European football championships. However, his great passion was horse racing, so much so that he became one of the reference points for horse enthusiasts. Rino Icardi’s voice is also linked to non-sporting events that have gone down in history. He was in the Vatican with the Gr2 for the election of John Paul II and again for the Gr2, on August 2, 1980, he was the first to break the news of the massacre at the Bologna station.
