(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 22 - "I went to Marco Pannella with all the equipment I had at home saying: I have a radioprint to transmit, I would like to do something different. And he said: Do you want to do Radio Radicale? words by PinoPietrolucci, co-founder of Radio Radicale, are a perfect beginning for RADICAL WAVES by Gianfranco Pannone - co-authors MarcoDell'Omo and Simonetta Angeloni Dezi - who went to the Rome Festival.
A reality, that of this radio, which was born between the end of 1975 and the beginning of 1976 on the initiative of a group of radical militants in a small apartment in Rome located in Villa Pamphili, in the Monteverde district. Like the free radio stations that were being born in those years, Radio Radicale was also characterized by the libertarian spirit, but from the very beginning it distinguished itself from other broadcasters for its editorial philosophy. Just think of The 72 Hours of Pannella: during the electoral campaign of 1976. The historic radical leader, together with the then director Pino Pietrolucci, was the protagonist of a direct line with the listeners that lasted 72 hours.
Pannone in his notes confesses how "it was exciting to create Onde Radicali, with the complicity of the two co-authors Marco Dell'Omo and Simonetta Angeloni Dezi and the producers".
He adds: "As a boy I frequented the radicals, alive, brave and a little crazy; the same 'madness' that I see in this unique radio in the world that owes so much to Marco Pannella and Massimo Bordin. I met magnificent witnesses on my way, from Paolo Vigevano to Marco Taradash, but it is also the voices coming from the radio archive that reach me modern; in addition to those of Pannella and Bordin, the voice of Leonardo Sciascia, for example, critical awareness of a beautiful and possible Italy ".
