Di Lorenzo replied that Guttenberg could be given a forum since he was neither an extremist nor a criminal. A return Guttenberg does not depend on him as a journalist, but on the voters. In April 2012, he told the Berliner Zeitung that the book was a mistake that he regrets.

Others

Di Lorenzo's first newspaper article appeared under the pseudonym Hans Lorenz, as the editor in charge thought di Lorenzo's name was an artist name and he found it too imaginative.

In 1992 di Lorenzo was co-organizer of the first German fairy lights against xenophobia under the motto Munich - a city says no.

Based on his book about a right-wing radical in 1984, the then presenter Amelie Fried di Lorenzo selected for a program on the subject of right-wing radicalism on Live from Alabama . Both were connected by studying together. In the same year di Lorenzo took over the co-moderation. Di Lorenzo: “I came as a guest and left as a moderator.” In 1998, di Lorenzo “returned the favor” to Amelie Fried when a successor to the late Juliane Bartel was sought at 3 to 9 . From 1998 until Fried left in August 2009, they hosted the talk show together. From September 2009 to January 2010 Charlotte Roche was the moderator of the format alongside di Lorenzo, and Judith Rakers has been moderator since July 2010 .

In 1987 he shot the series Letters from Italy for Bayerischer Rundfunk , where he alternated with Aviva Ronnefeld to report on Italian cities and regions.

Giovanni di Lorenzo is a member of the boards of trustees of the ZEIT Foundation and the Journalists Network and the Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt Foundation .

Double election proceedings

On the evening of the 2014 European elections , di Lorenzo said on the political talk show Günther Jauch that he had voted twice because of his dual nationality. According to Section 6 (4) of the European Election Act, this is not permitted. On the basis of a criminal complaint from an AfD regional association, the Hamburg public prosecutor's office investigated suspected election fraud under Section 107a of the Criminal Code . Di Lorenzo justified his behavior by stating that, as a German as well as an Italian citizen, he had received an election notification and was not aware that he was only allowed to vote in one country. He regrets his behavior. The investigation was closed after di Lorenzo paid a 'substantial amount' as a fine in November 2014.
