Abstract

In this paper, we describe an Italian phenomenon that started offline, but has grown exponentially online through social media. We are talking about a journalist and scientific communicator, Alberto Angela. Can a public figure, who offers culture on a TV broadcast, be transformed on social media into a pop star, with legions of fans that go insane at every appearance?
