Enrico Mentana (born 15 January 1955 in Milan) is an Italian journalist and, since 15 June 2010, the director of TG La7.
Mentana is the eldest son of Franco Mentana, a Calabrian sportswriter, and Lella Mentana. Raised in the Giambellino district of Milan, he attended Classical High School "Alessandro Manzoni" before joining the Italian Socialist Party.
He became an editor of Young Left, the official organ of the Federation of Young Socialists, of which he was vice president from 1977 to 1979. He then enrolled at the University of Milan to study political science, but never graduated.
On 27 February 1980, Mentana was hired by RAI, Italy's public radio and television broadcaster. His first interview was with the mother of Mehmet Ali Ağca after Ağca's assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II. Within RAI, Mentana was put in charge of TG1 and then became deputy director of TG2.
