An icon of Italian publishing
Nicola Grauso, affectionately known as Nichi, passed away at the age of 76, leaving an indelible legacy in the Italian media landscape. Originally from Cagliari, Grauso dedicated his life to innovation and the dissemination of information, becoming one of the pioneers of the history of the internet in our country.
His career began in 1975 with the founding of Radiolina, one of the first private radios in Italy, which marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey in the world of communication.
An innovative path in the world of television
Grauso subsequently expanded his business by entering the television sector with the broadcaster Videolina. This move represented an important evolution, allowing Grauso to explore new horizons and reach an increasingly wider audience. His entrepreneurial vision also led him to invest in the paper information sector, with the purchase of the daily newspaper L'Unione Sarda, which has been able to adapt to modern times, becoming one of the first newspapers in the world to launch an online version.
The pioneer of the internet in Italy
In the 1990s, Grauso took a step forward, creating Italy's first global internet provider, Video On Line. This initiative revolutionized the way Italians accessed information and helped spread digital culture in the country. Grauso always believed in the power of technology as a tool for democratizing information, and his work paved the way for many of the innovations we take for granted today.
Nicola Grauso's passing marks the end of an era, but his impact on the world of media and communications will remain indelible. His ability to anticipate the times and innovate has inspired generations of professionals in the sector, and his legacy will continue to live on through his works and his insights. At a time when the media landscape is constantly evolving, we remember Nichi not only as an entrepreneur, but as a visionary who knew how to transform challenges into opportunities.
