Riccardo Chiaberge
Editor-in-Chief of Il Sole-24 Ore
Born in 1947 in Turin, Riccardo Chiaberge directs the Sunday supplement of il Sole 24 Ore. After having worked at the Centro Einaudi in Turin and for the journal, “Biblioteca della libertà”, he began his career in journalism at La Stampa in 1976, then at Il Mondo, and in 1981 at Il Sole – 24 Ore as the director of the third page and of the Sunday supplement which was begun in December 1983. From 1984 to 2000 he worked at Il Corriere della Sera, first as the editor-in-chief of culture and then as a correspondent and editorialist on cultural and scientific topics.
His books include “Ingegneri della vita” (Sperling & Kupfer 1988, with Nobel prize winner Renato Dulbecco), “Cervelli d'Italia. scuola, scienza, cultura, le vere emergenze del paese” (idem, 1996), “L'algoritmo di Viterbi. Da profugo a re dei cellulari: la straordinaria avventura di un italiano in America” (2000) and a novel, “Salvato dal nemico. 1944: una strage nazista nell’Italia divisa dall’odio”, which was inspired by a real event which the author’s family experienced in a small town in Piedmont during the German occupation (these last two were published by Longanesi).
