IIn a celebration that promises to enchant the hearts of culture lovers, RaiPlay Sound announces an unmissable initiative in honor of Luciano De Crescenzo, 40 years after the release of his famous “Così parlò Bellavista”. The podcast, entitled “Così parlò Luciano De Crescenzo”, aims to offer a fascinating journey through the life, works and thoughts of one of the most beloved popularizers of philosophy of our time.
A Life Between Philosophy and Naples
Hosted by Luigi Di Dieco, the podcast will not only be a simple story but a real “Symposium 3.0” that will collect the testimonies of those who shared significant moments with De Crescenzo. With over 50 published works and almost 20 million copies sold, the author is known for having revolutionized the way philosophy is experienced by Italians, so much so that in 1994 the city of Athens honored him with honorary citizenship, a recognition of his commitment to the actualization of Greek philosophy.
Testimonials from the Protagonists
The podcast promises to be enriched with touching and unpublished testimonies, with the participation of key figures who had the privilege of knowing De Crescenzo. Among them will be Antonio Parlati, Director of the Production Center of Naples; Paola De Crescenzo, daughter of Luciano; and Michelangelo Porzio De Crescenzo, President of the cultural association dedicated to him. Andrea Borgnino, Head of Original Podcasts RaiPlay Sound, will also be there, bringing his experience to the direction of this ambitious project. The podcast will be available on the RaiPlay Sound platform starting April 16, offering everyone the opportunity to explore the extraordinary world of Luciano De Crescenzo through a new and engaging lens.

The initiative on Luciano De Crescenzo seems interesting, but I don't know if another podcast series is really necessary. His life and works are already well documented in many ways. Let's hope it is original and does not repeat things already said.
