Franca Magnani
Franca Magnani (1925–1996) was a pioneering Italian-Swiss journalist known for her groundbreaking work in media, becoming one of the first female correspondents for ARD, where she reported from Rome. Born into a politically active family, she fled fascist Italy as a child, eventually settling in Zurich, where she became a prominent voice in journalism, contributing to notable publications and television. Magnani's career was marked by her advocacy for civil courage, and she authored an autobiographical book celebrating her love for Zurich. In recognition of her contributions and as a symbol of Italian migration to Switzerland, a new bicycle bridge in Zurich is set to be named after her.
