Giovanna Botteri is one of Italy’s most respected and popular journalist on international politics.
Over the decades, she has reported firsthand on the world’s most significant events: the collapse of the Soviet Union; the wars in the former Yugoslavia, Algeria, South Africa, Rwanda, Albania, and Kosovo; the 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa; Afghanistan and Iraq, where in 2003 she exclusively filmed the beginning of the bombings on Baghdad. She has also covered the conflicts in Lebanon and Syria, and in Iran she documented the Natanz nuclear facility.
From 2007 she was based in the United States, covering Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, the Great Recession and the Wall Street crisis, the war against ISIS, terrorist attacks, and the election victory of Donald Trump. In 2019 she moved to China, becoming one of the few Western journalists to witness the Covid-19 pandemic. From 2022 to 2024 she lived in Paris, where she closely covered the banlieue riots and the rise of far-right movements.
