It was officially recognized as the world's oldest magazine by an entry in the Guinness Book of Records, as RSI announced on Friday.
The show first went over the airwaves on October 28, 1939. In the Guinness Book, the age is not given as 70, but as 68. The reason for this is a different name for the weekly magazine during its first two years: "Il Quarto d'ora del Grigioni italiano".
The half-hour magazine can be heard every Friday at 7 pm on the first program of RSI. It deals with current topics from the Italian-speaking southern valleys of Graubünden. The program, which is produced in Chur, has been hosted by radio journalist Alessandro Tini for two years.
