A great victory for him and for those who believed in his unquestionable professionalism. A very good journalist, student of Montaanelli, which annoys globalists and the mainstream. We confidently await a General Director in discontinuity with political correctness. Good work Marcello! (Matthew Castagna)

The long career is fine, but what religion is he?? From a short surname like his we can really expect authentically Catholic things on television? Why all this positivism around?
These are legitimate questions?
@Pierino, Marcello Foa is a correct professional. E’ Conservative Catholic. His political position, of which it has never made a secret, is close to sovereignism, which is why he is opposed by everyone. This is the reason for the positive approach of our environment and many others, who do not have the positions of Scalfari or Santoro, to give some examples.
E’ an honest Jew, as Savona minister…Rare commodity nowadays, so hold on to it !
Foa is Catholic. He had a Jewish grandfather.
I'm glad to hear it. I didn't know these things and I asked them. Let's hope well for him.
