Born in Ravenna on 21 September 1923, he grew up in Rimini, a city he has always loved and to which he often returned. It is from the city of Romagna that Zavoli began his journalistic career, talking about sport. Overheard by a RAI official, he was called by Vittorio Veltroni to his Rome studios and from there his rise began. “He built and defended Rai together with Biagio Agnes, a picaresque couple,” said Walter Veltroni in the Senate Library. From 1980 to 1986 he held the position of president of Rai and, in 1993, he contributed to the foundation of the San Marino state broadcaster, becoming the first president of San Marino Rtv. A historical bond, the one with the Titan, which has its roots in the memories of youth.
