Elio Veltri Marco Travaglio

The Profile

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.
