Overview

• La Repubblica reported the death of Carlo Sassi at the age of 95.
• Credited as the inventor of the televisual moviola, he made slow‑motion replay a staple of football coverage and public debate.
• A defining moment came on October 22, 1967, when replays from the Milan–Inter derby suggested a Gianni Rivera goal had not fully crossed the line despite being awarded.
• He long helmed the moviola segment on La Domenica Sportiva and in the 1980s hosted Pronto moviola with live analysis and player call‑ins.
• His career spanned RAI and Mediaset, including L’Appello del Martedì in 1991, Quasi Gol with Sandro Ciotti in 1992, and Quelli che il calcio from 1993 to 2001 with Fabio Fazio and Marino Bartoletti.
