About the show

Welcome to Lirica, the podcast about Italy’s cultural heritage. We’ll tell you about works of art and artists, musical masterpieces and musicians; we’ll visit incredible places and meet characters from every era; they’ll tell us about their lives, and even a bit about our own; because culture is simple when it speaks the language of beauty. Lirica is a project promoted by Voxfarm and financed by LazioInnova as part of the FESR LAZIO 2014/2020 regional operating programme. ©️ illustration Gianluigi Toccafondo
