He produced and directed a History of Jazz, History of Central and South American Music, as well as History of Boxing, all seminal anthologies. In 1981, Italy's President Pertini awarded Gianni the Saint Vincent Prize for the best TV journalist of the year. From 1981 to 1984 he was the author and host of Blitz, a very successful Italian TV show, which hosted one-thousand-four-hundred guests from all over the world. Gianni interviewed icons like Federico Fellini, Muhammad Ali, Robert De Niro, Jane Fonda, Gabriel García Márquez, Enzo Ferrari and Eduardo De Filippo to name a few. In 1987, Minà produced a historic documentary, interviewing Cuba's President Fidel Castro for 16 hours. Three years later, in 1990, he interviewed Fidel again for a report on the end of communism. He later published two books based on these reports. Minà also wrote for Sperling & Kupfer Ed.: Marcos e l'insurrezione zapatista (Marcos and the Zapatist Insurrection), Un continente desaparecido (A lost Continent), Il Papa e Fidel (The Pope and Fidel), Storie (Stories), Un mondo migliore è possibile (A better world is possible). Some of his best known documentary films: Muhammad Ali, una storia americana (Muhammad Ali, an American story); Marcos: aquí estamos (Marcos: Here we are), dealing with the long march of the Zapatists through Mexico; Rigoberta Menchù, una donna maya per la pace (Rigoberta Menchù, a Mayan woman for peace); Diego Maradona: non sarò mai un uomo comune (Diego Maradona: I'll never be a common man); and C'era una volta il cinema: Sergio Leone e i suoi film (Once upon a time there was cinema: Sergio Leone and his films), a unique production with the participation, among others, of Clint Eastwood, Robert De Niro, Claudia Cardinale and Ennio Morricone. Between 1996 and 1998 Minà produced and directed the TV program, Storie (Stories), in which he interviewed such luminaries as the Dalai-Lama, Jorge Amado, John John Kennedy, Martin Scorsese, Isabella Rossellini, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Luis Sepúlveda.
