Alessandro Cutolo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alessandro Aldo Cutolo (born March 28, 1899 in Naples , † March 15, 1995 in Milan ) was an Italian historian, television presenter and author.

Life

Cutolo, the son of Guglielmo Cutolo and Bice Bozzini, first obtained a diploma in palaeography and graduated in law , literature and philosophy . He taught as a full professor of medieval history at the La Sapienza University in Rome and bibliography and library studies at the Università Statale di Milan . He was the first editor of the monthly Historia , which first appeared in December 1957. In addition, he headed the State Archives and the Historical Archives of the City of Naples.

Cutolo achieved great popularity among the general public through the moderation of the television program Una risposta per voi , which was broadcast on the RAI from 1954 to 1968, one of the first science programs on screen, in which Cutolo answered difficult questions in an entertaining and understandable way. In a private broadcaster he was active in such programs until the 1980s. A RAI PR man said: He knew everything, or at least it seemed so. He explained everything simply, understandably, plausibly. He always replied to inquiries by letter with an obvious or funny example.

This popularity was also strengthened by his acting activities, which he operated from 1962 to 1974 with eight appearances and in which he mostly stood by Alberto Sordi as a character actor.
