Franco Di Mare got married: wedding after 8 years of engagement
His partner, born in 1991, works for a catering company: a relationship born in the Rai headquarters in Saxa Rubra
ROME – Franco Di Mare and Giulia Berdini got married. After eight years of engagement, the 68-year-old Rai journalist got married today to his partner, born in 1991, who works for a catering company. Their relationship was born in the Rai headquarters in Saxa Rubra, where she was responsible for the catering of the internal bar. “The woman who had the strength to put up with me, even when I couldn’t stand myself either”, the journalist said during an interview to silence comments on their age difference (36 years). Franco Di Mare already has a marriage behind him with a woman called Alessandra, with whom he raised Stella’s daughter, adopted at 10 months old when the journalist was a war correspondent in Sarajevo.

Last April 28th Di Mare, guest of Fabio Fazio on ‘Che tempo che fa’ to present his book ‘Le parole per dirlo’, had connected from home and faced the interview with the help of a respirator, revealing that he has pleural mesothelioma, a “very bad” cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. The journalist, a former war correspondent, linked the onset of his illness to that experience: “I spent a long time in the Balkans among depleted uranium bullets, hyper-fast, hyper-destructive, capable of knocking down a building. Every explosion – he had told Fazio – released infinite particles of asbestos into the air”. Then the passage of Di Mare with his regret towards those who left after the discovery of the disease: “The whole of Rai. All the management groups have disappeared”.
