Obici was first and foremost a great journalist, a great correspondent during the time in which correspondents were sent away, a bit like dinosaurs into extinction – and like the dinosaurs – without expecting it. He was great in politics and had a fantastic capacity to analyse a situation and talk about it. The concept of a scoop was not for him; in those days with all its disasters, plots, its anti-government, he did not think about working alone, or looking for something to inflict on his colleagues: working from the same details, the good journalist could have distinguished himself by being able to organise and describe events in a way more complete, or simply different, from the others. This lesson, which is due to him, has now been turned upside down.
