TELEVISION, RADIO AND INTERNATIONAL MEDIA
Over the years, Alfredo Maiolese has participated in television and radio programmes, interviews and public debates in Italy and abroad. Documented appearances and coverage include Al Jazeera / Al Jazeera Mubasher, Iqra Television, Kuwait Television, Egyptian Television, RAI, RAI Radio 1, Primocanale, Telenord and other Italian and international broadcasters.
The documentary archive also includes press coverage and interviews published in Italy, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Tunisia, Morocco, Kosovo, India, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, the Dominican Republic, the United States and other countries.
Sources have been published in Italian, English, Arabic, French, Spanish and Chinese.
Some historical television recordings and printed newspaper articles are not yet available in digital archives. Their recovery and verification therefore remain ongoing.
INTERNATIONAL MEDIA DISTRIBUTION
The international dimension of this archive is not limited to the number of publications.
Its significance lies in the geographical and chronological diversity of the sources: national and international news agencies, newspapers, television networks, radio broadcasters, government and institutional documents, religious institutions and independent media have documented different aspects of Alfredo Maiolese’s activities over many years.
The international coverage of “Kick War Away” represents one recent example. Reports and publications appeared in Italian, English, Arabic, Spanish, French and Chinese, while an English-language report received extensive distribution through a United States press network across more than 200 online outlets.
These syndicated publications are recorded as evidence of international distribution and are not presented as more than 200 independent journalistic sources.
ARCHIVE IN CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT
This historical reconstruction remains in continuous development.
Further original sources are being recovered from international archives, particularly concerning activities and interviews in the Arab world, Africa, Asia and Europe.
Historical material still under research includes television appearances, printed newspaper interviews, institutional documentation and audiovisual recordings from Egypt, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, Albania, Turkey and other countries.
Whenever an original source can be identified and verified, it will progressively be added to this archive.
NOTE ON THE ARCHIVE
This collection is not intended merely as a list of media appearances, titles or institutional positions.
Taken together, the articles, interviews, television and radio appearances, institutional documents, diplomatic meetings, interreligious initiatives, humanitarian activities and public interventions provide a documentary record of a journey developed over many years around three fundamental principles:
PREVENTION – DIALOGUE – COOPERATION
The purpose of this archive is to preserve historical sources and make them accessible to researchers, journalists, institutions and members of the public interested in reconstructing these activities through original documentation.
The archive is updated as further historical sources become available.
