editCorso was born on 1 September 1920 in San Ramón, Canelones Department, Uruguay. He was a supporter of the Civic Union, a small Uruguayan political party.[3] He was the successor of Salvador García Pintos for the "Field Journal" radio station in 1949, and later worked for Radio Rural, Sarandí, Oriental, and El Espectador.[2]
Corso was a mainstay of the agricultural radio sector for over 50 years.[3] Corso was also a journalist: his articles were published in El País, La Mañana, El Diario, Últimas Noticias and Marcha.[2] Corso was a devout Catholic[4] and his Christian faith bore the stamp of clear conservatism. In 2009, Corso had spent a total of sixty years as a radio journalist and he left the radio station he spent the past thirty years with.[3]
