Summary: | This paper analyzes Italian radio theatre evolution and its ability to put itself always in the middle between radio and other expressive media: theater, cinema, comics, daily news, books and Internet.

In this expressive format, belonging to media proto history, lurks a deeply complex nature and fervent creativity, which rediscovers in the ether an amplifier of the digital, a new space of expressiveness and diversification of its audience. |
