Farewell to Stefano Vespa, brother of Bruno Vespa. He was 64 years old

He was a journalist too, but only for the press. In force to the Roman newspaper The weather for 23 years only to go on to Panorama in 2003 and finally to the site Formiche.net, Stefano Vespa, Bruno Vespa’s younger brother, has always kept a low profile, meeting the end on 8 March, due to a cardio-circulatory arrest that gave him no escape. Vespa dies, in fact, in his home in Rome, where he lived alone. The alarm was raised by the family members who, worried that he had not answered the phone for hours, had gone to check asking for the intervention of the firefighters, who forced the door.

The arrival of the ambulance was, however, in vain. Stefano Vespa was born on 25 April 1957 in L’Aquila as was Bruno Vespa, twelve years older than him. Graduated in Law, he had worked at The weather until he became editor-in-chief, then moved on to Panorama, which he left in 2015 as head of the Roman editorial team and, after retirement, moved to the web collaborating for the site Formiche.net.

He has always dealt with politics, also focusing on the theme of defense and security without neglecting the role of print media in the face of the advance of the Internet and multimedia information. “Journalist, tennis player (nc) emeritus and AC Milan player since the mid-sixties” was the description Stefano used to introduce himself on social media.
