Lions colour man Giulio Caravatta set to be added to the B.C. Football Hall of Fame
Now in his 26th season as the colour analyst for the B.C. Lions radio broadcasts, Caravatta is also extremely humble.
Then there is the constant mistaking of Caravatta for yours truly. It’s not just fans though. Media personalities from other CFL cities will often come up to Caravatta with a “Hey, Moj! How’s it going?” introduction to a conversation.Just ask defensive tackle Tibo Debaillie, who was the latest to commit the cardinal sin.He just goes about his job – which he’s the best at by the way – and does his thing. He’s not constantly tweeting or posting on Instagram trying to drum up followers.
His mom Maria still lives in the same home in the Toronto suburb of Etobicoke that Giulio and his two sisters – Pina and Silvana – grew up in.That’s reserved for formal occasions like Christmas or Easter dinner. “You! You are Darren Flutie,” said the elder Caravatta in his thick Italian accent with some homemade wine in his hand.“Yes, I do Mr. Caravatta,” said Flutie.
The son of first-generation immigrants, Giulio learned from his parents the core values that led him to success during his eight-year stint in pro football and during his 25-year career in the West Vancouver Fire Department which culminated in him retiring as a captain this past year.
