Silvia Rosa Brusin

Explaining science to the general public, turning into news what happens in laboratories and research centers around the world has been the work and passion of Silvia Rosa-Brusin for years.

In 1992, Rai decided to experiment with a new type of information, creating "Leonardo" in Turin, the first science news program in Europe. Silvia Rosa-Brusin has been part of this journalistic adventure from the beginning, helping to create an editorial department for which there were no reference models. She has followed all the space missions over the years, with special broadcasts and live connections from Cape Canaveral, Baikonur, and Kourou in Guyana. When it comes to astronautics and astronomy, she is also a point of reference for other Rai news programs. The International Astronomical Union has dedicated an asteroid to her.

Silvia Rosa-Brusin was the first television journalist in Italy to propose in-depth reports on topics such as genetically modified organisms and stem cells.

The European Commission has called her to comment on scientific sessions on climate change. During her travels in Europe, Russia, and the United States, she has been in contact with the most important scientific institutions. Silvia Rosa-Brusin presents "Leonardo" and is the deputy editor-in-chief. The science news program airs from Monday to Friday at 14:50 on Raitre.
