Maria Grazia Capulli (Macerata, August 15, 1960 – Rome, October 21, 2015) was an Italian journalist and television presenter, and one of the iconic faces of TG2.

Biography

She grew up in Camerino, in the province of Macerata, where she enrolled in a journalism course that led her to take her first steps towards her future career, also through the founding of the local Radio C1 with some peers. After graduating with honors in Classical Literature from the University of Macerata, she began collaborating with print media, publishing her first reports in Il Messaggero Marche and Corriere Adriatico. In the late 1980s, Maria Grazia Capulli joined Rai; in 1996 she joined TG2, and the following year, Clemente Mimun, the then-director of the news program, entrusted her with anchoring the 1 PM edition after being positively impressed by an interview she conducted with Piero Chiambretti, the host of the Sanremo Festival. In 2004, she worked for a few months as a correspondent from the Paris office. As a special correspondent for cultural and entertainment events with a preference for literary works, due to her university background, she curated various segments: Tg2 Neon Libri, Achab Libri, Costume e Società, and TG2 Salute.

From July 24, 2006, to November 28, 2010, she anchored the 6:15 PM news edition, and later the 6:30 PM edition, alternating with various colleagues.

After a brief stint on the 8:30 PM news from July 2012 to January 2013, she returned to anchor the 1 PM edition starting in February 2013.

She presented several editions of literary awards including: the Strega Prize, Campiello Prize, Viareggio Prize, Scanno Prize, and Giuseppe Dessì Prize. She was a member of the technical jury for the Rapallo Carige Prize for women writers and the Castiglioncello Prize.

In 1998, she received the European Personality Award for Journalism, in 1999 the Sulmona Prize for Journalism and Art Criticism, in 2001 she was awarded the Marchigiana of the Year prize, among a long succession of recognitions up to April 2015, when her hometown awarded her the XXIX Collevario Prize. The Telegiornaliste fans forum named Capulli the most beloved journalist three times (2003, 2007, 2009).

She died in Rome on October 21, 2015, from breast cancer, at the age of 55. An initial farewell ceremony took place at the Church of Santa Chiara in Rome. The funeral, broadcast live on Rai 2, was held at the Church of Santa Maria in Via in Camerino. She is buried in the Valcimarra cemetery, in the family chapel.
