Pier Vincenzo Porcacchia “was a Rai man. What could be defined as a” company man “. Because he believed in the function and mission of the Public Service. Extraordinary professional, of great authority. Strengthened by his always kind ways”, he underlines Usigrai, recalling that “With measure and balance he was director of Gr2 (Giornale Radio Rai) and of TgR”.
