La Zanzara

La Zanzara started to air in 2006. During the years the format completely changed from being a classical political radio-talk to a popular talk show. In its first years it hosted many Italian politicians such as Matteo Salvini, Matteo Renzi and Giorgia Meloni. However, the introduction of a daily format and open mic sessions with ordinary people marked a major shift towards a more pop-oriented program. The host has analyzed many mainstream topics, from Berlusconi's Bunga-Bunga scandals to OnlyFans.

Through these continuous evolutions, Cruciani and Parenzo created a "Zanzara Universe" featuring many listeners who turned into radio personalities, such as Mauro da Mantova, Donato da Varese, Demone Scimmia, Tony da Milano, Giuseppe da Reggio Calabria, Gaetano Saya, Enzo Spatalino, Filippo Champagne, Nevio Lo Stirato, Ion Bambalau, Luca Scazzi, Clizia de Rossi, and Dwarf Matteo. During these changes, La Zanzara often sparked heated verbal clashes and attracted mainstream media attention due to the hosts' positions on various topics, including the vegan movement, the LGBTQ+ movement, and the No-Covid movement.
