Naples, Radio Capodimonte is born: it is the first radio station of an Italian museum

Radio Capodimonte, a pilot project for a radio station at the Capodimonte National Museum in Naples, will start in September: twelve episodes about the Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco di Capodimonte, created by students of the master’s degree program in radio broadcasting at the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples, thanks to an agreement between the Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco di Capodimonte, the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples and the Campania Music Commission association. Each episode of the radio will last one hour and will allow people to learn more about the Capodimonte Museum, stay updated on current exhibitions and events, and learn more about the artists in the Reggia and their masterpieces.

Radio Capodimonte is Italy’s first project for a museum radio station: the lineup also includes interviews with artists and curators, news about guided tours and events, and unpublished views of the museum, which Charles of Bourbon wanted on the hill of Capodimonte to display and preserve the rich collection he inherited from his mother, Elisabetta Farnese, and to cultivate his great passion for hunting. Today, explain the creators of the radio station, Capodimonte is a place where everyone, following in the footsteps of the King, can cultivate their passion and which will be narrated by the students of the Suor Orsola Benincasa master’s program in radio: Rosanna Astengo, Riccardo Capecci, Angela Chiapperini, Mario De Martino, Marialaura Garripoli, Alfonso Palumbo, Anna Perrone, Davide Pinto, Marcello Polverino, Aniello Sergio and Andrea Ugolini.

“I am particularly proud of Radio Capodimonte, a project created with Suor Orsola Benincasa University and the Campania Music Commission,” says Sylvain Bellenger, director of the Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco. “Students from the master’s program in radio have designed a captivating format with lots of news about exhibitions and events to discover everything you can do and see at the Capodimonte Museum and Real Bosco, a cultural site that is now truly multidisciplinary. I invite you to listen to the 12 episodes airing from September; I am sure you will enjoy them.”

“The Suor Orsola Benincasa University,” says Rector Lucio D’Alessandro, “is proud to give life with the Capodimonte Museum and the Campania Music Commission association to an unprecedented format, Radio Capodimonte, the result of the work of the students of the Master in Radiophony, who worked this spring on the creation of a sound identity that would be able to translate mediatically and represent a prestigious institution such as The Capodimonte Museum and Wood. It is one of the many occasions in which Suor Orsola Benincasa University realizes an accomplished chain between our way of doing education and the world of work.”

“The Campania Music Commission association,” says President Ferdinando Tozzi, “pursues its mission of enhancing the tangible and intangible heritage of Campania through music by awarding the scholarship to the students of the Suor Orsola Benincasa University’s Master’s program in radio to be able to create a radio for Capodimonte made by young professionals.”
