Alberto Angela, at Christmas I tell the lights of Naples

NAPLES - Lights on Naples and culture on December 25: Rai1 and Alberto Angela with 'Tonight in Naples' propose an absolute novelty for the first evening of the public holiday in the space usually occupied by films or cartoons. From Piazza Plebiscito and Palazzo Reale, where a Giancarlo Giannini will meet in the role of Carlo di Borbone, to the Treasury of San Gennaro, from the National Archaeological Museum (which today hosted the presentation in the shadow of the Farnese Bull, the largest marble group of 'antiquity) to the Sansevero Chapel and San Gregorio Armeno with the shepherds' shops, up to lesser known places such as Santa Luciella and its skull with ears or the Bourbon tunnel, Angela will meet 'special and passionate' guides, Marisa Laurito at Health and Massimo Ranieri in the Monastery of Santa Chiara. ''Naples like all cities has lights and shadows. Our program focuses on lights. Naples is for Italy what Italy is for abroad, there are commonplaces. I believe that only knowledge can fight prejudices. I'm Piedmontese and I've always had a great time '', says Alberto Angela, who is an honorary citizen of Naples and returns with this lucky format three years after the success of 'Tonight in Pompeii'. Mayor Gaetano Manfredi thanks him: "The broadcast is a great gift from Alberto and Rai to Naples, but also a gift that Naples wants to give to the Italians: the energy of this city can be a symbol of the restart". MANN director Paolo Giulierini says: '' We are proud and grateful to Rai and Alberto Angela,with him we talked about our deposits called Sing Sing for their bars, with artifacts that we 'free' and by traveling they bring beauty into the world ''. Those deposits where Angela 'discovered' the now famous oil. This time the author will walk on the mosaics of the Magna Graecia section. '' It is a transmission that I want to explain with the concept of 'zero kilometer' - says Angela - I have traveled a lot, but then I realized that we have the most beautiful things close to home, in Italy. Here at MANN, the most important and beautiful archaeological museum in the world, there are works whose discovery has influenced European thought and culture, as well as the San Carlo for music. And this production entirely made by the Rai Center in Naples is also 'zero kilometer' ''.After underlining the exceptional quality of the images (photo by Vincenzo Calò), Angela thanked the director Gabriele Cipolletta and the authors Aldo Piro, Fabio Buttarelli, Ilaria Degano, Vito Lamberti, Emilio Quinto. An entirely 'internal' production as underlined by the director of Rai1 Stefano Coletta: '' Angela's programs underline the mission of the public service. It is not a matter of simple disclosure in prime time, but also of the construction of emotions, with images, words and music ''. And music will be a central ingredient of the 'Neapolitan night': from the notes of Pino Daniele to Ranieri himself who will remember the importance and diffusion of the Neapolitan song in the world to Serena Rossi,while Serena Autieri will evoke the atmosphere of the Cafè Chantant in the Margherita salon. Many places visited, always in the silence of the evening, from the Royal Palace to Castel dell'Ovo, to the Certosa di San Martino, to the Catacombs.
