Camilla Cederna

Camilla Cederna (21 January 1911 – 5 November 1997)[1] was an Italian writer and editor.

She is said to have introduced investigative journalism to the Italian news media.

[5] Cederna studied Classic Literature at the University of Milan.

[6] Her 1943 article La moda nera ("Black Fashion") about the clothes worn by women in the Italian fascist movement, originally published in Corriere della Sera on 7 September, led to her being put in prison.

[7] Cerderna is perhaps best known for her 1978 book Giovanni Leone: la carriera di un presidente (Giovanni Leone: The Career of a President), where she accused Italian president Giovanni Leone of being involved in a Lockheed bribery scandal; Leone was forced to resign but he later successfully sued Cederna for libel.
