Alberto Angela at the Arena
The beauties of Verona aired in prime time for a new episode of “Wonders”, the program hosted by Alberto Angela. After “Tonight in Milan”, the well-known popularizer on Wednesday 28 December returns to tell the story of art and culture, crossing the borders of the Belpaese in an itinerary that takes viewers to the sites recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Angela has filmed in Seville, Athens, Lisbon, Mont Saint-Michel, the Castles of Bavaria, Andalusia and, in Italy, Verona. Verona which “symbolizes the dialogue between the cultures of the continent – said the conductor on TV smiles and songs -, just think of the story of Romeo and Juliet that Shakespeare set here. In Verona we met the most famous Romeo of dance, Roberto Bolle, and Riccardo Cocciante, who dedicated a work to the two young lovers. Riccardo is a little Italian and a little French, an example of European identity. And this brings us to a concept that I hold dear: when different cultures meet, humanity’s masterpieces are born”.
The episode is broadcast at 21.25 on Raiuno.
