The journalist Tonio Deligia, director of Telesetar for many years, has died at the age of 82. His son Walter's announcement on social media: «On a cold and gray day in February, you chose to start a new journey. Have a good trip dad."

Tonio Deligia, who was born in Cagliari, from the mid-eighties until 2000, was the tireless animator of the TV programming which was based inside the hotel complex (on the Quartu coast) from which it took its name. He edited "Zoom", the information space of the station created in 1983 by the entrepreneur Antonio Depau, and hosted "Dodicesimo in campo", the program which also gave ample space to sports considered "minor".

On Facebook the pain and gratitude of many people who worked with him: "Thank you for everything you taught us." Telesetar, with Tonio Deligia at the helm, was a training ground for many journalists and technicians who achieved very important goals in their subsequent professional experiences. The last farewell tomorrow, Tuesday 13 February, at 4.30 pm, in the church of Santa Barbara in Sinnai.
