Among the passions of Giuseppe Cruciani there is radio and sex. The first success and scandal to the conduct of the The mosquito; cult program of Radio 24. The second carefully protecting private life, but delivering to the public Nudes, the sex of Italians (La Nave di Teseo), a book-summa of ten years of radio testimonies by guests without reticence, including the cover with the author photographed naked and from behind.
In these guises do you define yourself?
“A Dylan Dog of sex, he investigated the nightmare, I investigated the sexual and erotic relationships of Italians.”
On the dust jacket the comparison is with Pasolini’s Comizi d’amore
“Don’t blame it on me, it’s a marketing issue. Mine is a journey into contemporary sexuality, the one where the internet has allowed everyone to easily approach the subject “.
Sexuality in the Age of the Internet: Better or Worse?
«Better, the Net offers many more possibilities to relate and to know or give space to one’s own and others’ fantasies. If sex becomes better or worse, I don’t know, it depends on the individual ».
Contemporary taboos?
«Free sexuality, especially if you are a couple. Claiming to be a swinger, for example, is still frowned upon. Swinging could be a cure-all for the duration of marriages, for example ».
The provocation, the journalistic one: his trademark.
“It’s not a provocation, that’s how I am, I like to explore all the techniques of the diatribe and of the human soul, I give space to opinions that are out of the ordinary, I love contradictory”.
What is obscene for her?
«The hypocrites and the false respectables, those always ready to teach you a lesson».
Italian politics
«Very funny, a great cabaret, politics is made up of contradictions, dissimulations and falsehoods as well as people who work well. I enjoy anything that creates a little chaos. In any case, the Italians manage by themselves ».
Politicians.
“Right now I like Calenda, he’s someone who doesn’t tell them, he gets involved. I have voted for everything, so far, I could vote too ».
Dpcm antiCovid.
“They all seem like palliatives. The middle ground does not work, it would take the army to enforce these rules. People are self-regulating. ‘
Information today
“It is no longer controlled by just a few publishers. The Internet has transformed information into a huge Hyde park Corner. You can choose the communication you want and that’s fine “
Inspiration?
«Giuliano Ferrara, Vittorio Sgarbi, Howard Stern. I took a lot from Vittorio Feltri, but also from Marco Pannella when I worked at Radio Radicale ».
After The Mosquito?
“I’d like to be a podcast talent scout, the real future of word communication.”
