Why podcast
When the silence in the streets may seem deafening, music continues to dictate trends and shape the cultural, social and political fabric of the cities it inhabits and the people who gravitate to this ever-evolving world.
It is in order to recount this condition of perpetual change that Music & The Cities was born, the podcast that puts music at the center of the story, to reveal alternative perspectives, and certainly very personal ones, through the experience of some of the protagonists of the Italian creative scene, from north to south.
Raffaele Costantino
Radio host, tastemaker, and music producer, he accompanies listeners on a journey through the musical fabric of the main Italian cities: Rome, Milan, Turin, Palermo, Naples, Lecce, Bologna (UNESCO Creative City of Music).
“Italy is a country that is very rich in artistic landscapes, and each city has its own music scene with its own history and evolutions. Music & The Cities recounts the differences by building an overall picture” says Raffaele Costantino.
Discover the secrets of Italian cities
A choral portrait that through the voices of 40 artists with their sensitivity and vision, showcases the uniqueness of some of the main Italian cities, outlining profoundly different profiles which represent the cultural richness of this country.
