Biography
The son of storekeeper Enrico (Piacenza, 1894–1972) and housewife Dirce Bongiorni (Casa Celli di S. Lazzaro, 1900 – Piacenza, 1969), he had an elder brother, Oreste. In 1954 he married Maria Teresa Astorri, with whom he had two sons: Paolo and Andrea.
He began his career founding the magazine Numero, (1945–1946), on which artists Ennio Morlotti, Emilio Vedova and others published the Manifesto del Realismo (also known as Oltre Guernica), and collaborating with Italia Libera (1945), official newspaper of Partito d'Azione, Corriere Lombardo (1947) and Libertà, a newspaper of Piacenza.
Later he worked for the magazine Epoca (as a copy editor, 1950–1953), for the newspapers Corriere della Sera (as a reporter, 1954–1969) and Il Gazzettino, Venice (as editor in chief, 1969–1970). In 1971 Cavallari was a political commentator for TG2 (television news) (1971). After being head of the Rome office of Europeo (1972–1973), he became correspondent from Paris for La Stampa (1973–1975) and Corriere della Sera (1977–1981). He was the editor in chief of Corriere della Sera in the period 1981–1984, when the newspaper was involved in the investigations on the P2 Masonic lodge;[1] and political commentator for La Repubblica from 1984 until his death in 1998.[2][3]
Cavallari taught journalism at the Paris-Panthéon-Assas University (1978–1989) and held numerous seminars at the University of Pavia. In 1984, he became a member of the European Institute for the Media, first at the University of Manchester, and then at the University of Düsseldorf.
In 1965, Cavallari published, in Corriere della Sera, an inquiry about the Vatican Council II, which culminated, on 3 October, with an interview with Paul VI, the first ever issued by a Pope.[4]
He covered his own life in an autobiography published in the Autodictionary of the Italian writers.[5]
