Kicking off the new season of Ulysses with Alberto Angela: begins Sept. 16

On Wednesday, September 16, a new season of Ulysses, the famous cultural popularization program hosted by Alberto Angela, begins. Announcing the start of the new episodes is Angela himself through a post on his official Facebook profile. It will be a special edition, because in 2020 Ulysses will turn 20 years old (in fact, the first episode aired in November 2000). Alberto Angela has already released some previews: there will be, for example, an entire episode dedicated to Raphael on the 500th anniversary of his death, and then content on Elizabeth II complete with a trip in and out of Buckingham Palace, John Kennedy and his family, a trip to the skies of Rome to see the capital from above. “It is exciting,” Angela said addressing her audience, “to think that I have come so far together with you.”

“And yet,” the host continued, “every time the theme song starts it’s as if it were the first time, back in that distant November: bringing in-depth scientific, historical and cultural insights and themes into people’s homes on Rai is a great honor, but also a great responsibility to you and to the wonderful team that supports me. The return to Rai Uno with new episodes is even more significant this year. We all went through very hard months, which we hope never to experience again.... During those months, our work never stopped: because you still always have to look to the future with optimism. From home we set up and wrote the new episodes of Ulysses that you will see in the coming weeks. Then in June we finally returned to the set. I confess: it was really ’strange’ and exciting. Because, while working with all the necessary precautions and regulations to prevent a new aggressive virulence of Covid-19, on the other hand we all feel, powerfully, the desire, the desire and the responsibility to return to tell stories, places, characters, so that they return, even if partially, that sense of ’normality’ that a fixture of Italian TV, such as Ulysses, knows how to give. Some of the episodes you will see were made in the studio. And this made me feel even closer to you: I tried to tell the stories you will hear as if I were in the living room with you, on an autumn evening, talking about travel, characters, places. Of course, these are ’special’ studies, with techniques and effects that will make you travel (this yes) to places that are often difficult to access for filming.”

The appointment with Alberto Angela’s disclosure and the new season of Ulysses is therefore for Wednesday, September 16, in prime time on Rai Uno.
