My last item tonight... a plea for help. I came across this article about CNN's Rome bureau chief, Alessio Vinci
Alessio Vinci, profilo dell'erede di Mentana
Alessio Vinci, 40 anni, è nato a Lussemburgo ma è italiano. Suo padre, Enrico Vinci, siciliano, è stato per quindici anni l’eminenza grigia per eccellenza a Bruxelles: ha ricoperto infatti, unico italiano, l’incarico di Segretario generale del Parlamento europeo. E i suoi figli sono nati a Lussemburgo perché è lì che c’erano gli uffici amministrativi dell’europarlamento. Alessio ha frequentato la Scuola Europea Lussemburgo. Dopo il liceo, si è trasferito a Milano, dove si è iscritto a Scienze Politiche all’Università Statale. Alla fine degli anni Ottanta, Vinci va alla Cnn di Atlanta con una borsa di studio. Lì mette a frutto le lingue imparate nell’ambiente multilingue frequentato sin da bambino (l’italiano, il tedesco, il francese, l’inglese e il russo) e passa subito al servizio esteri. Quindi, si trasferisce a Mosca per seguire il colpo di Stato e ci resta per cinque anni, coprendo l’ascesa di Boris Elstin, il crollo dell’impero sovietico e guerra in Cecenia. Nel 1996, Vinci è nuovamente trasferito alla redazione di Berlino, per poi passare – tre anni dopo – a Belgrado, dove convince la Cnn ad aprire un ufficio di corrispondenza. Dopo l'esperienza dei Balcani, Vinci viene trasferito all'ufficio di corrispondenza di Roma, e diventa capo dell’Ufficio. Nel 2005, ha ricevuto il premio giornalistico dedicato dal Corriere della Sera a Maria Grazia Cutuli. Oggi, la conduzione di Matrix: una sfida prestigiosa ma anche la pesante eredità di Mentana da gestire.
The problem.... I don't know Italian. There is a lot of basic biographical information in the article that can also be found on his CNN bio, but I'm pretty sure that there is more to it than that. If you happen to be able to translate Italian into English, please email us at allthingscnn@gmail.com.
This could be a related press release from Mediaset:

Great post BookAsylum! I love the video clips of John King and Dana Bash. It's interesting to hear behind the scenes stuff, like Jonh talking about sources.
The Dana-John interview was so cute! They're adorable and they seem to be really in love.
And I love Alessio Vinci. You don't read very much about him. I wish I knew Italian.
I just copied and pasted the article in Italian into translate.google.com and this is what I got...it's choppy, and I would fix it if I was Italian, but that's not the case : )
" Alessio Vinci, profile of the estate Mentana
Alessio Vinci, 40, was born in Luxembourg but is Italian. His father, Enrico Vinci, Sicily, was for fifteen years, the gray eminence for excellence in Brussels: he was in fact, the only Italian, the post of Secretary General of the European Parliament. And his children were born in Luxembourg, because it is there that there were administrative offices dell'europarlamento. Martin attended the European School Luxembourg. After high school, he moved to Milan, where he enrolled in Political Science at the State. In the late eighties, Vinci move to CNN in Atlanta with a scholarship. There is building on language learning in multilingual early childhood frequentato (Italian, German, French, English and Russian) and passes it to the foreign service. Then, he moved to Moscow to follow the coup and remains there for five years, covering the rise of Boris Elstin the collapse of the Soviet empire and the war in Chechnya. In 1996, Vinci was again transferred to the drafting of Berlin, and then - three years later - in Belgrade, where the Cnn convinced to open an office of correspondence. After the experience of the Balkans, Vinci is transferred to the match in Rome, and became leader of the Office. In 2005, he received the prize from the newspaper dedicated to Corriere della Sera Maria Grazia Cutuli. Today, the introduction of the Matrix: a challenge but also the prestigious heritage of Mentana heavy to handle."
Hi, everyone,
even if late,I wish I could be "the" Italian you've been looking for, in order to entirely appreciate what a google- translation may fail on Alessio Vinci.
A.V. ,40, ...His father Enrico, Sicilian,was the sole top Italian officer- an eggman, to better match the expression "eminenza grigia"-, to serve a 15 years post as General Secretary of European Parliament in Brussels.His children were born in Luxembourg, because of Europarliament administrative sites.
After high school, the European School in Luxembourg, he moved to Milan, where he attended Politic Sciences at Università Statale.In the late Eighties he flies to Atlanta, thanks to a CNN fellowship. As an intern, he could thrive on that multicultural environment he had been raised up in, and his knowledge of Italian,German, French, English and Russian makes the case for him to get to the foreign news department. Hence Alessio flies to Moscow to report from the 1991 "putsch" (coup), and staying for 5 years, he witnesses Eltsin's political ascent, The Soviet Empire collapse and the Chechnyan war. In 1996 he ends up to Berlin CNN bureau, where he leaves from 3 years later, to further move to Belgrade desk, where he could work it out through the Balkan events. Hence he is assigned to Rome CNN bureau, heading for the office management. In 2005 he's rewarded with the "Corriere della Sera(Italian main daily newspaper)-Maria Grazia Cutuli journalistic Prize.
Nowadays he confronts both the challenging and burdensome task as "Matrix" anchorman.
Matrix is an insightful Italian tv talk show, just in case...
Thank you to both of our translators! I appreciate the help.
