Private Passions: Walter Iuzzolino

BBC Radio 3 - Private Passions, Walter Iuzzolino

Michael Berkeley’s guest is Italian television producer Walter Iuzzolino.

Michael Berkeley’s guest is Italian television producer Walter Iuzzolino, a great Chopin fan.

Walter Iuzzolino is an Italian television presenter who has become well known on our screens thanks to Walter Presents, Channel 4’s free streaming service of European television dramas. He’s a man with a mission to open up European culture to the British, and he has now begun a specially curated publishing list too, so that we can read the latest European fiction. Alongside that latest venture, he’s created special playlists – because together with his passion for European television and literature, Walter Iuzzolino is a classical music fan, with a love of Chopin. 

In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Walter reflects on the challenges of opening up British culture to “foreign” influences, and explains why he’d actually rather live in London than Genoa.
