Massimo Giletti discusses family history on Rai 3
Journalist and television host Massimo Giletti appeared as the first guest on the new Rai 3 program ‘Le cose che non sai’, hosted by Eleonora Daniele. The show focuses on the family origins and personal histories of various public figures.
Giletti shared personal details regarding his upbringing and family life. He discussed his early years working in his family's textile company in Biella, a business founded in 1884 which he eventually took over following the death of his father, Emilio, in 2020. He also spoke about childhood health struggles, specifically a diagnosis of scoliosis at age five that required physiotherapy in Geneva.
During the broadcast, Giletti became emotional while discussing his relationship with his late father, noting that his father's frequent work travels meant they rarely saw each other. He reflected on how his father's influence shaped him despite pursuing a different career path.
