Excerpt: Michael Nicholas Salvatore Bongiorno, known as Mike Bongiorno (pronounced; May 26, 1924 September 8, 2009) was an American-born Italian television host. He started his career on Italian TV in the 1950s and was considered to be the most popular host in Italy. He was also known by the nickname il Re del Quiz (The Quiz King), and the peculiarity of starting all his shows with his trademark greeting: Allegria! (Cheers!). Bongiorno was born in New York City, United States but moved to Turin, his mother's home city, early in life. During World War II he abandoned his studies and joined a group of Italian partisans. He was captured and spent seven months in the San Vittore prison in Milan and was then deported to a German concentration camp. He was liberated before the end of the war due to a prisoners of war exchange between the United States and Germany. He returned to New York and in 1946 started work at the radio headquarters of Il progresso italo-americano (The Italian-American progress) newspaper. Bongiorno returned to Italy in 1953. He appeared in the program Arrivi e partenze (Arrivals and Departures) on the TV channel RAI on the very first day of official public TV transmissions in Italy. From 1955 to 1959 he hosted the quiz show Lascia o raddoppia?, the Italian version of USA's The $64,000 Question. This was the first successful quiz show on Italian TV, and became one of the most famous Italian TV programs ever. Another successful program was Campanile Sera (Bell Tower Evening, 19591962), in which a southern Itali...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=2446937We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
