Honorary degree for Alberto Angela at the Federico II University of Naples.

This morning Alberto Angela was awarded an honorary master’s degree in Geology and Applied Geology in the Aula Magna Storica of theFederico II University of Naples. A former honorary citizen of Naples, Alberto Angela has dedicated several successful documentaries to the city for his programs, including a special Stanotte a Napoli aired on Christmas Eve in 2021.

At the ceremony, the paleontologist and popularizer of science commented, “Coming to Naples is like entering a dream. I am not Neapolitan, but I feel at home.”

“Naples is a family that has welcomed very different people over time,” he said. “The history of Naples is made up of many stories over the past millennia. This city has the great ability to embrace you and not make you feel foreign. This is what I could say to people who ask me about my experience in Naples. This city has been a great discovery, however, most of all I feel at home every time I come here and it is an extraordinary feeling.”

“Getting a degree in a field that is as crucial to me as geology, in such an ancient, such a prestigious university, is like reaching the moon, it’s something extraordinary,” the popularizer stressed. “It is a great honor for me on the day when this very important birthday for the university begins.” Indeed, the Federico Ii University of Naples is celebrating its 799th birthday. “And then at such a glorious moment for the city, I can say that I have also won my Scudetto,” he concluded.
