Beautiful and moving message that journalist Rai wrote Carlo Paris on Facebook in memory of colleague Franco Lauro, who died today at the age of 59: “A journalist who lived only for his job. This is the first thing that comes to mind when I remember Franco, Franchino Lauro. Almost obsessively in love with the work of a television journalist. Scrupulous, attentive, almost manic in preparing a comment, a drive. How many times have I seen him in the editorial offices, on the plane, with the intention of cutting newspaper pages, taking notes, memorizing everything. After the years after basketball, when Rai lost his rights, he threw himself into soccer. We made fun of him saying that he didn’t understand anything. And instead, the assiduous, meticulous and professional study led him to compete on par with all of us born of bread and soccer. Elegant in clothes and manners, also as a conductor (even on Sundays, playing with Galeazzi, he knew how to bring his talent to the small screen. An Anglo-Saxon style, rarely brought to controversy, but always careful to tell everything with grace and Professionalism. Full dedication to work kept him away from editorial life, in the sense that he rarely attended dinners, tables with colleagues, spent entire days reading, documenting himself, calling players, presidents, experts, from whom he got news and information Maybe he preferred to go to dinner just to leave so as not to be distracted, to be more concentrated. So maybe, if someone knew him, if the host recognized him, he asked him for some news about this or that game, about the campaign shopping, about a gamer, from taciturn turned into a flood, showing all his knowledge Tin Tin Sometimes he called him, remembering that the lock of hair that, in the last os years, made it similar to the famous comic book character. Dear Franco, you have given so much to your work, almost all your life. You have given so much to the sport that you have had professionalism and passion. You gave Rai so much that you lose a precious commentator with you. You gave your colleagues a little less because you were too busy. It was difficult for the spectators to understand your soccer faith, your passion for Naples. You have also been very professional in knowing how to hide this. A colleague friend like Ignazio Scardina is waiting for you there with whom you are ready to face endless football discussions. Calm, elegant, refined like the ones you have given us for years. I would like to greet you with the same delicacy with which you greeted the spectators, never forgetting those who suffer in hospitals. I am sending you a prayer, remember us. Carlo “
