Life

Born and raised in Larino in the province of Campobasso , Aldo Biscardi successfully studied law at the University of Naples . In 1952 he started to work for the Neapolitan daily newspaper Il Mattino . In 1956 he became the sports editor of the Roman daily newspaper Paese Sera , whose editor-in-chief he later became.

In 1979 he began his television career in the public service Rai on Rai 3 . In 1980 he moderated programs on various channels, his own style of discussion "down to earth", his linguistic mistakes and his puns quickly made him popular.

In 1980 Biscardi started the sports program he created, Il processo del lunedì, on Rai 3. In the first season, the program was presented by Enrico Ameri , later by Marino Bartoletti, with Biscardi taking on the role of TV producer in the background.

In 1993, after a telephone intervention by Silvio Berlusconi during a live broadcast in which Berlusconi complained about allegations made against him in the broadcast , Biscardi switched to the pay-TV sports broadcaster Tele +. The private broadcaster resumed the program with the same formula under the new name Il processo di Biscardi . In 1996 the program switched to the private broadcaster Telemontecarlo , from which in 2001 the broadcaster La7 emerged .

With the birth of the digital television channel La7, Biscardi became the director of the sports division of La7 and the program director of the sports channel La7 Sport, which was founded in August 2005 and closed in April 2007.

In May 2006, excerpts from telephone conversations between Biscardi and Luciano Moggi were revealed. As part of the Italian football scandal , it became known that the Juventus manager had influenced Biscardi in the programming of his show. Biscardi agreed to investigations into the case in July 2007 before the matter was closed without further action. In the meantime, he left La7 in May 2006 and switched to Channel 7 Gold. In September 2006, after a tough internal confrontation, the Italian Association of Journalists imposed a six-month professional ban on Biscardi, whereupon Biscardi resigned from the association.

In his broadcasts, Aldo Biscardi campaigned for the introduction of video evidence that Serie A introduced with the 2017/18 season.
