Pino Scaccia

Pino Scaccia, the pseudonym of Giuseppe Scaccianoce (17 May 1946 – 28 October 2020), was an Italian journalist and blogger.

He followed numerous events, from the first Gulf War to the Croatian War of Independence, from the disintegration of the former Soviet Union and the former Yugoslavia, to the crisis in Afghanistan, in addition to the difficult post-war period in Iraq (where he was the last travel companion of Enzo Baldoni) until the revolt in Libya.

He made numerous reports all over the world, he was the first Western reporter to enter the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant after the disaster, to be the first to discover the remains of Che Guevara in Bolivia and to show the hitherto secret images of Area 51 in the Nevada Desert.

For years, Scaccia was a point of reference for the research of the Italian soldiers who disappeared in Russia during the Second World War.

He published four essays with testimonies, photographs, letters, diaries of survivors or fallen of the ARMIR and edited the series "Amori maledetti" for Tralerighe libri editore.
