He has interviewed hundreds of famous people. From Adriano Celentano to Mike Buongiorno, via Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti and Sylvester Stallone. Without leaving out the world of sports, featuring Gigi Buffon, Gianni Rivera, Francesco Totti, Pelé and many other champions. We are talking about Emilio Buttaro, a journalist of Calabrian origin who participated in the initiative entitled “Special Encounters in 40 Years of Bel Paese” that took place at the Guglielmo Marconi School of Italy in New York.
For Buttaro, a dream come true. The well-known journalist got to tell behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes from 40 years of interviewing entertainment and sports personalities. It was the first time for him overseas, and in addition to interviews with celebrities, Buttaro also explained how Italy has changed over the years as well as journalism, not leaving out the emotions of his experiences and 40 years of work.
Buttaro is a great example for young people entering this profession, especially for Italians living abroad since Buttaro is precisely committed to Italians abroad in the role of presenter and as a reporter. Just at the Italian Consulate in New York, last year Emilio Buttaro received the “AIAE Journalism Award” for his dedicated commitment to Italians abroad.
Emilio Buttaro has proven himself over the years to be a true bridge between Italy and New York, with a passion for this work that has always pushed him to give his best and reach out to personalities unreachable for some. Buttaro had the opportunity to tell the young people present about his interviews conducted all over the world, the special stories he had in New York in his long career, which conveyed unspeakable emotions, in what he called his American dream.
