Born in Fucecchio , near Florence , Montanelli made his career at the Corriere Della Sera newspaper in Milan , famously authoring deeply sympathetic articles from Finland during the Russo-Finnish War (part of World War II ), and from Hungary , during the 1956 Hungarian Revolution . In the 1970s , together with Enzo Bettiza , he founded and directed the Milan daily '' Il Giornale ''. When '' ("The Voice"), which had belonged to an historical newspaper run by Giuseppe Prezzolini . ''La Voce'', always an elitist paper, folded after about a year, and Montanelli returned to ''Corriere della Sera''. From 1995 to 2001 he was the chief letters editor of ''Corriere della Sera'', answering a letter a day on a page of the newspaper known as ‘La Stanza di Montanelli’ (‘Montanelli’s Room’). In spite of having been a renowned Anti-Communist all his life, Montanelli spent his last years vigorously opposing Silvio Berlusconi’s politics. He died on July 22 2001 at the ‘La Madonnina’ clinic in Milan, where another legendary ''Corriere della Sera'' writer, Dino Buzzati , had passed away twenty-nine years earlier. The following day, ''Corriere della Sera'' published a letter on its front page: Indro Montanelli's farewell to his readers. |
