Dice che le vecchie zie all’Olgiata non avrebbero mai «l’ascella pezzata» e che Roma ha una capacità «abbandonica» di farti «stare tra le rovine».In questa intervista con @malcompagani, Michele Masneri (@michi.mas) ripercorre le sue radici, diviso fin dall’infanzia tra i nonni paterni “fattivi” e una nonna materna araldica dedita a genealogie e film di Visconti. Fuggito dalla “Pretoria” di Brescia e dalle mitomanie di Gorizia per approdare alla Capitale, il giornalista riflette sulla fauna letteraria e sociale del nostro tempo, partendo dai fari intramontabili del Novecento: dall’Ennio Flaiano capace di non farsi mai inglobare nel “canone” dei giusti, all’Alberto Arbasino “lord inglese” ed esemplare per il suo 100% di presenze in Parlamento. Tra aneddoti leggendari, come i sadici colloqui telefonici di un’estate fantasma con l’ingegnere Carlo De Benedetti, Masneri osserva le nevrosi dell’epoca contemporanea: dall’abitudine di schierarsi in “batteria” per paura di una shitstorm sui social all’esasperazione della purezza morale a tutti i costi.Il podcast Dicono di te si ascolta sulle principali piattaforme audio gratuite e al link in bio.#podcast #podcastitaliano #giornalismo by @michi.mas

Garlasco pensavo peggio. Alla scoperta della “Las Vegas della Lomellina”come la chiamavano prima del fattaccio. Alla leggendaria discoteca Le Rotonde ci cantò pure Madonna. Ora ci son brioche e molte tagliaerba (per sicurezza conserviamo gli scontrini vabbè) by @michi.mas

Revealing the cover of PARADISO by Michele Masneri and translated from Italian by Richard Village.Described as a Fellini film colliding with The White Lotus, or Paolo Sorrentino colliding with Alan Bennett, the book is a darkly comic, social media generation satire on power, cultural currency and the enduring legacy of the Eternal City.On the hottest day of the hottest summer anyone in Milan can remember, young journalist Federico Desideri is sent to Rome to meet Italy’s latest Oscar-winning director. Instead of nailing the interview, he ends up in Paradiso, a gloriously decadent estate on the Lazio coast. But is everything there as heavenly as its name suggests?________________________________“The book everyone is talking about. By our sharpest writer, who is as cynical as he is tender” Luca Guandagnino, Director of *CALL ME BY YOUR NAME*“Its satire, drama and lush scenery mask a core of darkness. The decadence hidden beneath the cultural posturing and nostalgia create a surreal mix of beauty and grotesque decay.” BOOKBLAST“A darkly comic journey through the Roman night, among eccentric characters and disenchanted glamour” CORRIERE DELLA SERA________________________________Nostalgic Italian style meets biting social comedy in this vivid and cinematographic novel, with hilarious cast of characters that give a warts and all look at Rome and its creatives. Ideal for lovers of the full Italian cultural experience, blending the high of cinema and literature, with the popular. The perfect Summer read!PARADISO will be available in bookshops from the 26th May 2026, and is available to pre-order from our website now.#itlianliterature #italianculture #transaltedliterature #readingaroundtheworld #michelemasneri #richardvillage #foundryeditions by @michi.mas

📖 𝑴𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒊 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒐 📖Author @michi.mas will present the English translation of 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒐 by @foundryeditions on 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝟵 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝟭𝟵:𝟬𝟬 at @toppingsedin. On the hottest day of one of the hottest summers anyone has ever known, young journalist Federico Desideri is sent on an apparently routine assignment; to snatch an interview with Italy’s latest Oscar winning film director. But in Rome. Far from the comforts of his native Milan. When the director turns out to be elusive, and the Romans as rough as their reputation, Federico falls in with Barry Volpicelli, the rumoured inspiration behind the winning movie’s lead character – a seductive, fast-talking, America-obsessed rogue, and instead of finding his interviewee, he finds himself in Paradiso-Barry’s crumbling country estate on the Lazio coast, with an eccentric cast of inhabitants who seem frozen in time. Members, students, and friends of the Institute can access discounted tickets for the event via our website!🎫 by @michi.mas
