The Bolzano labor court has ruled on an appeal relating to forced holidays and failure to carry out duties for a well-known commentator.
Five hundred days of overdue holidays were enough to end thirty-five years of a career at Rai. It is the bill that the Bolzano labor court put down in black and white, condemning the company to compensate Franco Bragagna with 40 thousand euros, plus 9 thousand in legal costs.
According to judge Werner Mussner, who accepted the appeal presented by the lawyer Natale Callipari, the forced holidays imposed on the commentator effectively made him unable to carry out his duties, preventing him from covering the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo and the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina.
Having missed the opportunity of what would have been his 18th Olympics, Bragagna chose to resign, having already met the pension requirements: his exit from Rai became effective on 31 December 2025, upon his 67th birthday on 17 July.
The move to Sky came almost immediately, first with studio columns and then with the return to commentating on athletics at the European Championships in Birmingham. The hypothesis of a last Olympic adventure in Los Angeles 2028 remains open, albeit distant.
At Corriere, Bragagna reconstructed the negotiation with the company: «I had asked Rai to be able to stay until the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games, despite the many holidays I had and which I had essentially decided to give to the company». On future prospects, however, he opens up to the possibility of one last Olympics: «It's definitely early but I'm leaving the doors open. If I am still able to understand and want, I would like it."
