Overview
- Milan marks the milestone with a Sala Buzzati celebration presenting Luca Carcano’s docufilm “Dan Peterson—Per sempre Numero 1” for Fenice Film.
- Guests slated to attend include Dino Meneghin, Vittorio Gallinari, Riccardo Pittis, Ettore Messina, Leo dell’Orco, and U.S. Consul General Douglass Benning.
- As a coach, he won a Coppa Italia and a Scudetto with Virtus Bologna, then captured four Scudetti with Olimpia Milano, culminating in the 1986–87 triplete.
- His profile soared from 1981 with NBA telecasts in Italy, where a colloquial, anecdotal style and catchphrases helped popularize a new way of narrating sport.
- He remains active at 90 with frequent interviews, columns for Gazzetta dello Sport, and an English newsletter called The Coach, while coverage reiterates that the long‑told CIA‑in‑Chile tale is unsupported.
