Giovanni Floris launches Artedì, a cultural TV program on La7
Giovanni Floris and La7 are launching a new television program called Artedì, an eight-episode cultural supplement airing every Monday starting Easter Monday at 11:10 PM. The show will explore eight iconic Italian artistic and historical sites, each guided by a different expert. The first episode visits the Cappella Sansevero in Naples, featuring Giuseppe Sanmartino's Veiled Christ and the anatomical machines by Giuseppe Salerno. Subsequent episodes will cover locations in Milan and Rome, including the Vittoriano, Villa Farnesina, Castel Sant'Angelo, Vatican, San Clemente Church, Capuchin Crypt, the Bank of Italy vault, and Leonardo's Last Supper. The program marks a shift for La7, traditionally focused on political talk shows, and represents an expansion into cultural content by the network owned by Urbano Cairo, who also publishes Arte magazine and runs the Cairo Prize for young artists.
