From the archives come the report cards of Piero Angela , the great television communicator who died last August 13, at the age of 93 .
Angela attended the Massimo D'Azeglio high school in Turin from 1939 to 1947 (although she had to "migrate" at times to other structures due to the ongoing war) and from the judgments of his professors, a student emerges with precise passions, indolences typical of adolescence and, also, with a lively character.
Reading the school documents of the time, it turns out that in the penultimate there were many subjects that he had to "repair", that is Italian, Latin, mathematics, physics and also in the sciences (think that then he would have talked about science and talked about for decades, millions of spectators, from Quark's cameras ...).
Even the year of the Maturity, however, had to repair three and in the end he had all six in the report card, among which, however, a 9 in physical education stood out .
Still in the last year of high school, at the end of the first quarter, he "collected" a 5 in conduct , the same grade scored by many of his classmates, with the following motivation: "They were absent arbitrarily on the 21st". What happened on that fateful day and the reason for his absence, however, is not known (Did he sail, as they say in Sardinia? Or did he participate in an event?). The fact is that the young Angela still had time to remedy before the end of the year, transforming the insufficiency into an 8 .
Then, after high school, Angela was free to pursue - beyond grades and judgments - her passions. The music. Journalism. And then the cultural and scientific dissemination on television, becoming one of the best known faces of the Italian cultural scene, loved and esteemed for at least two, if not three generations.
