ANTONIO CAIAZZA
A journalist at Rai’s Trieste office, he has covered Balkan affairs for various publications for many years. In particular, he has dedicated several television reports, articles and two books to Albania: In alto mare. Viaggio nell’Albania dal comunismo al futuro (Instar Libri 2008) and the novel La notte dei vinti (Nutrimenti 2014), an account of the bloody purge that struck the nomenklatura in Tirana in the mid-1970s.
