In 1980, only one year later, Paglia was already being assigned to cover important events, such as the São Bernardo's metalworkers' strikes that opposed the military regime and brought to prominence the future three-term president, then union leader Luís Inácio "Lula" da Silva.
The same year, Paglia joined one of two special itinerary crews created by Globo to cover the first visit of Pope John Paul II to Brazil.
Traveling extensively for Globo Repórter's productions, Paglia has visited the Arctic and Antarctica twice, and has been assigned to coverages in Asia, Middle East, Africa and South America.
During three years, he would cover European current affairs, Brazilian interests in the region and Africa, and the Iran-Iraq war, visiting Baghdad and Basrah.
The journalist left again for London in 2000, for another 2 year long period as international correspondent, when he covered the Palestinian Intifada and the American invasion of Afghanistan.
Aboard an executive jet plane, the crew criss-crossed daily the continental country to get to cities chosen by a draw, realized live every night during Jornal Nacional, main Globo's news bulletin.
In April 2023, the journalist returned for the third time to Greenland to shoot the climate change documentary “3 X Arctic - The Alert of the Ice” for the streaming platform GloboPlay , joined by the same original crew that went to the Inuit village of Qaanaaq in 1995 and 2007: the cinematographer Marco Antonio Gonçalves and Canadian guide Jim Allan.
