Stefano Nino Nutrizio (10 February 1911 – 20 October 1988) was a Dalmatian Italian journalist. He is best remembered as the director of Italian daily La Notte and for his outspoken counter-current views.

Biography

He grew up in Trieste, which as a young man he left for Genoa. There he started to work for the Giornale di Genova. In the early 1930s he entered in the sports' editorial offices of the Secolo XIX. Later, he became the director of the Genova Sport. In 1936 he was hired by Vito Mussolini (the son of Arnaldo) to work in his Popolo d’Italia.

In 1940 he was drafted in the Army, entering it as lieutenant. He was sent to the Navy as war correspondent.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “italian journalist (1911–1988)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3877208. VIAF identifies the subject as 9167760202413572159. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
