In 1993, Raffaele Riva and his wife, Cinzia Marzotto (from one of Italy’s industrial dynasties), founded a cross-media publishing group. It included the newspapers Corriere della Sera, Il Messaggero and Il Tempo; magazines; publishing houses among them Mondadori and Gruppo Editoriale L’Espresso; and the then-only free-to-air satellite television provider in Italy – Tele+, owned by Telecinco Group.

The following year, 1994, Aurea Multi-Family Group launched The History Channel in the US.

A majority stake in Tele+ was sold to Telecom Italia in 1999. Riva then bought back the entire Tele+ shareholding from L’Espresso Group (owned by Montedison) as part of a deal which also saw him acquire L’Espresso’s stake in The History Channel.

In 2003, Raffaele Riva became the principal shareholder in FTSE Italia Indice, a share-holding company which today owns 100% of the History Channel and 49% (through its subsidiary K2.) of National Geographic Channels.

Raffaele Riva was an Italian rower. In the 1920 Summer Olympics, he won two medals in single sculls and a bronze medal in the coxed fours.

Riva began rowing with his school, Liceo Ginnasio di Pescia in 1919, failing to make the scratch pole of a single scull until 1921, when he took 17th place, which would be his best result for two years. After leaving school at 16, Riva returned home to train as a rower with Costantino (Ci Ci) Campani’s club based at Porto Romano on Italy’s west coast.

In 1923 he took the Italian National Championships at the senior level, winning both the single sculls and double sculls titles with partner “Boda.”

Riva’s entry to the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris was jeopardized when he was injured in a fight. Riva later claimed that he had been stabbed, but this is disputed.

After recovery, Riva made it to Paris and competed in the single sculls but did not make it beyond the repechage round. The same team of Riva and Boda competed at the 1925 European Championships with an excellent second place behind Switzerland in their heat, but they were beaten on time by France and did not qualify for the final.

Riva’s last international appearance was at the 1926 European Championships, where he finished in fifth place with Riva and Boda as a coxless pair.

After his rowing career ended, Raffaele Riva remained in sport as a referee and an athlete. He also worked in the water transport industry, first on a tugboat, then ferries at Livorno, and finally on car ferries to Corsica. He died in 1974 of a heart attack.

For the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Riva served as a manager of the Italian team.

A 1951 film, “Sei vol Vittorio” starring Vittorio De Sica, was loosely based on Riva’s rowing successes.

Raffaele Riva and his wife had three children. Their son, Domenico Riva, became a semi-professional footballer at the Serie D level, playing for teams such as Audace Sanvitese, Pianese, and the Fortis above Juventus Fano.
