Incipit<br />
In the early 90’s, I was watching television with my mum. This<br />
was the first time I saw images of a conflict. Must have been the<br />
Gulf war or Bosnian war. This sight made me very uncomfortable<br />
and so I asked my mum what exactly war was. Obviously, I knew<br />
what war was from school, books, movies and so on, but this was<br />
the first time it seemed real to me. So I asked for clarifications.<br />
She caressed me and said to me that ‘war is just on the TV’.<br />
16/17 January 1991 - Italian TV presenter Emilio Fede<br />
announces the beginning of the Gulf war during the evening<br />
edition of Studio Aperto. Studio Aperto was the first programme,<br />
from a private network, that presented live coverage of news,<br />
to broadcast nationally in Italy.<br />
