Television

Scalia started her media career following volleyball and soccer for La Gazzetta dello Sport, L'Arena di Verona, Supervolley and TMC2).

In 2004 she moved to Sportitalia,[2] anchoring the first live news on the national TV and following with the sister company features Eurosport and several “Calcio Serie A e B” programmes.

The big turning point came in 2007 when she anchored the International Rugby Board (IRB)'s official magazine program, Total Rugby, with Luca Tramontin. The show had been broadcast in over a hundred countries without any anchors, but Scalia and Tramontin were given the opportunity to change the format to "docu-talk". [3]

Correspondent at the 2007 World Cup, and often traveling for the edgy and colourful “Si Rugby” she presented and wrote with Luca Tramontin, Gianluca Veneziano and rugby record-man Stefano Bettarello, magazine which often involved also Australian Football, Rugby League and other less known codes, she soon became a familiar face to the oval Italian community.

2008 to 2010 Scalia tied her public image to the daily live night show “Prima Ora” moving then to the massive afternoon news programmes of Sportitalia.

In 2011 she wrote and hosted with Luca Tramontin a show called the Oval Bin.[4][5] Oval Bin was co-anchored by Gianluca Veneziano.

During Summer 2011, ahead of the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, she anchored a surreal but historically accurate News Program called "Story Kiwi TG". She time-machined "reporters" Luca Tramontin and Gianluca Veneziano through the centuries of colonization and development of rugby in New Zealand "witnessing" facts like the 1st rugby match in Nelson or Captain Cook landing. In an interview to "Sportincondotta" Scalia said she regrets that such a successful and appreciated program had been closed as many others of hers, and even the fact it has been removed from the web.[6]

In January 2013 she started anchoring the Ice Hockey magazine ESP Hockey on Espansione TV[7] with her long term tv partner Luca Tramontin.

Sport Crime

During 2013, Tramontin and Scalia invented and registered a new TV series called Sport Crime. They kept it hidden until the trailer's shooting took them to Polcenigo (PN), Rovigo (with Rugby Rovigo Delta), Rijeka (with Primorje) and London (at the Marylebone Cricket Club Academy of Lord's Cricket Ground).

Sport Crime is the first ever series based on real sport, it tells the story of 'Seams Agency', based in Lugano and ready to intervene when an alleged crime or infraction endangers a team, a sport venue or an athlete.[8] Any episode is based on a different sport.[9][10]

She is actively working on writing and plotting the episodes of the TV Series which she potentially rates the hottest and by far best TV product ever.[11] Scalia also acts as main character, while Tramontin declares to be still undecided on the matter.[12]

The trailer gave evidence that all actors are active or former athletes that often try or re-enact the facts risking their bodies in real actions like smashing tackles, high velocity crashes and bodychecks.

Through Sport Crime is a fictional work designed for TV consumption, most of the plots come from the long experience of the authors as sportsmen, coaches, tv commentators, presenters or analysts.

Sport Crime musics are produced by Walter Dal Farra, frequent session-man with former "Le Orme" Tolo Marton and Deep Purple Ian Paice that also features in the TV series trailer.[1]

The first episode of Sport Crime has been extensively rehearsed in Rijeka (Fiume) e Opatija (Abbazia), with Tramontin e Scalia in most of the real location of the effective shooting that Tramontin gave for "nearly imminent" in a long interview in the Novi List. The plot runs around the alleged kidnapping of a waterpolo star shortly before Primorje has to face the Champions League semifinals. Tramontin also revealed the surprising connection he has with the Kvarnar area and with Croatian language and culture.[13][14]

Daniela Scalia interview with HRT1

The magazine Teklic.hr stated that Prijmorije Waterpolo Club will have a world promotional push (Svjetska promocija kluba) from Sport Crime and pushed the concept comparing Sport Crime to CSI (Nesto kao CSI).[15] Primorje Club itself echoed the thing, pretending that a player was really kidnapped like in the plot, only to eventually reveal it was an April fool.[16]

On April 4, 2016, at Cannes Mip Festival, Scalia and Tramontin revealed that the TV movie "The Legacy Run", introducing Sport Crime themes, atmosphere and characters, had been produced and edited. Curiously, no shooting had been done in Italy but only in Switzerland and Croatia with extensive media coverage on national TVs, radio, magazines and newspapers.[17][18][19][20][21]

December 4, 2016, "The Legacy Run" had its world premier at Swiss national tv reaching share numbers close to the historic "Sunday Sport Show /Domenica Sportiva". Scalia's brainy and charming character had several accolades as the whole movie had an extremely positive reception.

Scalia cured and co-wrote "In onda con 3 dita", the book revealing the shocking and humorous secret of Luca's life.[22]

Orules and other disabled sports

For serious mental and perceptive diseases the game consists in a code half way between rugby and Australian Football, while for medium degree of disability, the teams created by Tramontin adopt the Orules/Australian Football rules except for number of players and length of the periods.
