Alberto Matano reveals: “I have a partner and I would like to get married”

Alberto Matano she has a boyfriend and dreams of marriage: “If with my partner we decide to get married, then we will announce it and we will share our joy with everyone ». The forty-nine year old conductor of the Live life revealed it in an interview with the weekly 7 of the Corriere della Sera, specifying that in addition to the wedding (“perhaps without letting too much time pass”) she also wants a child. But “maybe it’s too late to become parents: she has made herself “a certain one” for the children … ».

Matano had done coming out last October. After thesinking of the Zan Bill in the Senate the journalist, to explain how many cases of discrimination could finally find a just sentence thanks to the law against homotransnphobiahad decided to tell what he experienced firsthand: “As a teenager I suffered homophobia on my skin, I know what that means», He had confessed visibly moved a Life live after launching a service with testimonials of some victims of homophobia.

Before then, the former Tg1 half-length portrait had never talked about his private life. Because «I always thought that my private life should not be the object of morbid attention and I protected her with determination. But when faced with the defense of fundamental rights, I cannot back down, the lure is too strong, ”he said. Specifying about her past: «Certain wounds do not always have to do with the sexual sphere. I was a very small boy, this exposed me and when I was a child certain attacks become an indistinct magma ».

Until now, the journalist had never even talked about his love life: «Because I think it is just and healthy to protect your feelings. And then the labels have always gone tight. In the course of my life I have had no boundaries in my affectivity. AND the last Sanremo gave us a lesson: there are no categories where love exists“.

Yet even today sexual orientation can affect a career: “The categories are very dangerous and certain prejudices are always there, like background noise“. But the mission of a journalist, says Matano, is precisely to «take the field to defend rights. When it comes to things that people experience on their skin, it’s time to take action. Too many people stand as judges of other people’s lives“.
