Culture on TV, a topic that has always been debated and which no one has yet agreed upon, both among the public and among professionals. There are those who say that television is and must be nothing, those who must educate, those who should educate, but it is not exactly the right medium to do so. There was the great Angelo Guglielmi, the unforgettable inventor of Rai 3 who said that TV must be made with culture, but it is not culture that must be presented on TV as in front of a school class. For years now, Flavio Caroli has been bringing art to television through the program Che tempo che fa and is successful thanks to his personal approach, the secrets of which he will explain. This final appointment closes in the best possible way the twinning between the Ideona Prize and the Futuro Presente: the meeting between art and TV in the city of MART.
Flavio Caroli graduated in Modern Literature at the University of Bologna in 1968, and in this University, after specializing in Art History (1972), he began his academic career. He is full professor of History of Modern Art at the Polytechnic of Milan. A historian of modern and contemporary art, over the years he has directed his research in particular to the investigation of the introspective line that characterizes Western art, research which has expanded into the study of comparison with other figurative traditions (Jewish, Islamic, Indian, Chinese, Japanese...). On these themes he has organized many exhibitions and published numerous volumes.
