Alexa, Amazon's voice assistant, continues to conquer Italians, always ready to put it to the test with useful, curious and sometimes surprising requests. In 2024, Amazon revealed the most frequently asked questions to Alexa by Italian users, highlighting an interesting cross-section of interests, passions and trends in the country.
Article Key Points
Among the most unusual requests, “Alexa, speak Neapolitan” stands out, demonstrating a particular affection for the Neapolitan dialect and local culture. It is no coincidence that the Neapolitan rapper Geolier is confirmed as the most listened to artist on Amazon Music, thanks to the success of his album God Knows. Mahmood dominates the charts of requested songs, with Gold suit, hit of the year after the triumph at Sanremo.
Italians, always fascinated by celebrities, asked Alexa questions about their age, marriages and wealth. Among the most common requests: “Who is Annalisa married to?”, “How old is Loredana Bertè?” and “What is Elon Musk’s net worth?”. In addition, users relied on Alexa to satisfy general curiosities, asking: “How many inhabitants does Italy have?” or “Who is the Italian president?”.
Sports, music and recipes: Alexa accompanies Italian passions
Football remains a mainstay, with questions like “What time does Inter-Milan start?” or “How is Juventus doing?”. But 2024 was also the year of Jannik Sinner, the Grand Slam champion who attracted fans’ interest with requests like “When is Sinner playing?”. In the kitchen, Alexa transformed into a sous-chef, helping Italians prepare dishes like mini dorayaki with Nutella, potato balls and graffe. The culinary passion is accompanied by musical entertainment: in addition to Geolier and Mahmood, the voice assistant satisfied the desire for children’s songs and traditional tunes, such as Lullaby e The Beautiful Washerwoman.
Alexa is not only a source of information, but also a perfect entertainer. Among the most hilarious requests: “Self-destruct”, “How does the crocodile do it?” and “Super Alexa mode”. With jokes and unexpected answers, the voice assistant has shown that it can adapt to the humor and creativity of Italian users.
2024 has confirmed Alexa as an irreplaceable companion in the daily lives of Italians. Between music, sports, cooking and curious questions, the voice assistant has proven to be much more than a simple technological tool: it is a friend ready to surprise, entertain and, why not, speak Neapolitan.

the article talks about Alexa and how Italians use it a lot. I think it's interesting but there are many other voice assistants. Maybe we should try those too, I don't know if everyone uses only Alexa all the time, huh.
