Noos: the previews of the first episode
The new series dedicated to scientific dissemination, in six episodes always in prime time on Rai 1takes the place historically occupied by superquarks and it’s a completely new program while retaining the strengths of its predecessor. In fact, Alberto Angela will tell us about it the latest discoveries in the fields of medicine, genetics, neuroscience and biology but also with an eye to archeology, paleontology and more important technological, energy and environmental innovations. All always explained in an understandable way by the son of the great Piero who will be in an immersive studio full of special effects with guests and services.
In fact, this first episode will be able to boast not only the presence of Paola Cortellesi – which will tell the “story” of some letters of our alphabet through their handwriting – but also an exclusive interview with Harrison Ford, star of Indiana Jones 5 which was released yesterday in Italian cinemas. As for the regular guests instead, alongside Alberto Angela we will find the astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti and the journalist Dario Fabbri. The participation of these experts will allow to explore topics such as space, the distribution of global resources and the related geopolitical consequences.
Father Piero’s legacy
In the wake of the unforgettable science communicator, who passed away last year after a short illness, Alberto Angela wanted to pay homage to the illustrious parent right from the title of his new program. Noos (pronounced “nos”) in fact derives from an ancient form of the Greek term “nous”denoting intellect and knowledge, symbolizing the discovery and acquisition of new information and ideas. The inspiration comes from the 1998 TV show Journey to the cosmosin which Piero Angela explored the universe, with Alberto in the studio acting as “navigator”, aboard a spaceship called Noos.

Precisely for this reason, the leaker declared on his official social channels «It is a tribute to my father’s explorations into knowledge and, at the same time, it represents the continuation of the travels in the interstellar space of knowledge». An indelible memory, that of dad Piero, which Angela continues to keep alive even in her television appearances. Like when, before it closed its doors on Rai 3 What’s the weather likethe journalist gave some private anecdotes to Fabio Fazio that thrilled the spectators.
«There is one thing that united all the images and that was her smile: that is the key, the secret» he said in a moved voice «The artisan phase of the work is the fundamental thing, he has carried it out all his life. He didn’t write with his computer or cell phone, he always wrote by hand. Simplicity both in words and in the way of thinking that allowed him to see very far is perhaps one of his secrets».
The controversy with Rai and Lucio Presta
Always far from gossip and disputesa few days ago, in an interview with the newspaper The messenger, Alberto Angela launched a few polemical arrows against “mother” Rai. In fact, the popularizer declared, for example, of earn less than Amadeus and that, in case its presence is not appreciated, it would be ready to move to other palimpsests.
Phrases that infuriated Lucio Prestathe very powerful television agent who has the conductor of the Sanremo Festival in his stable. Presta thus invited Angela, again via social media, to publish her earnings and to compare them with the advertising revenues of both.
In response to Presta’s statements, Alberto Angela told the portal Fanpage.it that you are not interested in discussing your compensation and, above all, not wanting to argue with the TV agent. Thus trying to throw some water on the fire.
«I don’t think it’s appropriate to open a discussion on compensation, it’s not my style. I am a science popularizer and my goal is to communicate science to the public. I have nothing against Lucio Presta, but it doesn’t seem appropriate to enter into an argument with him».
