Italian President Sergio
Mattarella will visit ANSA's headquarters in Rome's Via della
Dataria on Tuesday as the agency celebrates its 75th
anniversary.
Italy's top news agency started transmitting on January 15,
1945.
ANSA, whose headquarters are just a few steps away from the
presidential palace, il Palazzo del Quirinale, is a cooperative
made up of the publishers of Italy's top daily newspapers.
The head of State will be received by ANSA President Giulio
Anselmi, Editor-in-chief Luigi Contu and Chief Executive Stefano
De Alessandri.
He will also meet the members of the board and visit a small
exhibition on transmission equipment, starting from those used
in the early post-war period, documenting how technology has
speeded up the broadcasting of news over the decades.
Mattarella will then go the agency's newsroom, where he will
meet ANSA's reporters and the editor-in-chief will illustrate
the various services, both traditional and digital, that they
produce.
