Alberto Angela's 'Stanotte a Roma' Airs Christmas Night on Rai1
On December 25, Christmas night, at 9:30 PM, Rai1 will air 'Stanotte a Roma', the newest episode of Alberto Angela's cultural series that delves into museums and historical sites after dark. This installment showcases Rome’s famous attractions, including the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon, as well as hidden gems like the hypogeum on Via Dino Compagni and Alberto Sordi's villa-museum. Angela remarked, “Experiencing the Eternal City at night is a gift on this special evening,” adding that “in Rome, every location conceals another.” The episode features contributions from artists such as Claudio Baglioni and Giancarlo Giannini. This follows previous editions on cities like Paris and Milan, with the 2025 Jubilee making Rome particularly relevant.
