Bandini Egidio

He was born and has lived for over half a century in the Bassa: therefore, even if he only climbs on a chair, he suffers from vertigo. To make ends meet, he works as a journalist, which, authoritative colleagues say, is always better than working. He has always read Giovannino’s fairy tales, but can’t decide whether to recognise himself in Crik’s truck or Breschi’s racing Moto Guzzi. And he is still thinking about it. He has been a journalist since 1988, managing the periodical “Pallavicinia” published by the University of the Free Age of the Municipality of Cortemaggiore, and wrote in “Corriere Padano” until 1993. From 1995 to 2004, he worked as a correspondent from the lowlands of Piacenza and Parma for “Telecolor”. From 1995 to 2003 he wrote for the weekly, then daily “Polis” of Parma. Since 1996 he has collaborated with “Teleducato Parma” for news reports and with “Italia 7 Gold Emilia Romagna” and “7 Gold Nazionale” for news reports as a correspondent from Parma and its province. From 1998 to 2010 he edited the TV news programme “Mondo piccolo” produced in collaboration with the “Unione Terre Verdiane” and broadcast on Italia 7 Gold Emilia Romagna. As a writer, he has published the volumes “Per l’antiche contrade – la Cortemaggiore del 1766”, “Cortemaggiore città d’arte”, “Quante storie… Giovannino!”, ‘Visti da destra, visti da sinistra. I personaggi di Giovannino Guareschi‘, ’Buon compleanno, don Camillo!‘ and the new ’Don Camillo, un pastore con l’odore delle pecore”. He collaborated on the editing of the catalogues published in 2008 to accompany the initiatives dedicated to the centenary of Giovannino Guareschi’s birth for the MUP Publishing House in Parma. Since 2007, he has been a contributor for the culture page of the national daily newspaper Libero, for which he edited the anastatic re-edition of some issues of “Candido”. Since 2011, he has been a contributor to the “Gazzetta di Parma” and since June 2014 he has been co-editor of the new monthly magazine “Candido” published in Rome.
