The essay aims to analyze the relationship among chronicle, collective memory, and history in Fenderico Buffa’s television docudramas. In recent years the sports journalist, well known to the television audience since the 1980s, has proposed in recent years a reconstruction of sport events of the 20th century, turning them into windows through which to observe social, cultural, political, and religious changes. Buffa has chosen to use accounts of sensational events – such as the record of 100 points scored by the American basketball player Wilt Chamberlain in 1962 or the 1950 Soccer World Cup final – as primary sources combining in his project the literary and memorial dimension with a historiographical ambition, intertwining the needs to inform, educate, and entertain.Downloads
