Stefano Zurlo, a prominent Italian journalist, has won the Premio La Tore, which will be awarded to him on July 25 in Piazza della Chiesa, Marciana Marina. The ceremony will serve not only to honor Zurlo but also as a platform to discuss significant judicial events he has reported on over the past thirty years, including major cases such as Tangentopoli and Cogne.

Zurlo, born in Milan in 1963, has chronicled the political and social history of Italy as a journalist, author, and essayist. His investigative work gained national attention in 1992 with his coverage of the 'Pio Albergo Trivulzio' case, which paved the way for the more extensive Mani Pulite investigations, shedding light on systemic corruption. Since 1994, he has been a key writer for Il Giornale, producing influential reports both domestically and internationally and taking on roles as a special correspondent for political events.

In addition to his print journalism, Zurlo has also made a name for himself in television as a producer and host since 2004. His contributions have significantly impacted the Italian media landscape, making this award a reflection not just of his achievements but also of his pivotal role in shaping public discourse around critical judicial matters in Italy.
