Elio Veltri Marco Travaglio

Writer

Italian journalists and authors; co-authors of 'L'Odore Dei Soldi' (2001).

Marco Travaglio is an Italian investigative journalist originally from Turin, known for critical reporting on Silvio Berlusconi. Elio Veltri is an Italian journalist and politician. The review and book associate them as authors of 'L'Odore Dei Soldi' (2001).

The reviewer analyses Marco Travaglio (with Elio Veltri) and their book 'L'Odore Dei Soldi', arguing that Travaglio relies heavily on judicial sources and that procedural truth cannot be straightforwardly converted into broad political or moral judgments. The method is described as simplistic and potentially misleading. The review urges focusing on interconnections of facts rather than treating judgments as definitive political verdicts.

For:Readers interested in investigative journalism, Italian politics, and media criticism.

 I consider the "Travaglio method" somewhat questionable, or rather, a bit too simplistic, and also naive: even if the facts from which Travaglio starts were true, or verisimilar, it is in their interconnections, in their interstices, in their direct and indirect effects that the citizen and the voter's investigation and evaluation should be focused.
