On the occasion of ANSA's 75th birthday, President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella will visit, on Tuesday 14 January at 16.00, the historic headquarters of the first Italian press agency in via della Dataria in Rome, a stone's throw from the Quirinale palace.
ANSA began broadcasting on January 15, 1945, accompanying the entire journey of Republican Italy. The agency is a cooperative made up of the publishing members of all the main Italian newspapers.
The head of state will be welcomed by ANSA president Giulio Anselmi, director Luigi Contu and managing director Stefano De Alessandri and will meet the members of the board of directors. President Mattarella will then visit a small exhibition of the post-war transmission equipment that documents the evolution of technology that has shortened the speed of news spread in these decades. Mattarella will then move to the newsroom of the agency where he will meet the ANSA editorial staff and in which the director Contu will explain to him the different productions, traditional and digital, in which the agency is engaged.
