Lercio.it

In a world where information dominates our lives, a collective of dissidents opts to refuse its rhetoric and begin an all-out struggle against the pre-packaged formulas and intellectual laziness of 2.0 journalism. With this premise the website Lercio.it came into being in 2012, and quickly asserted itself as a viral phenomenon capable of flooding the web with its nonsense satirical news items which are sometimes plausible enough to appear true and be hurriedly taken up by newspapers and agencies. Lercio.it is an online daily with over a million hits a month, whose view of the world varies from ferocious to wild-eyed disenchantment, and which spares no-one. Declared Best Website for the second year running at the Macchianera Italian Awards – the Internet Oscars – and recent winner of the Forte di Marmi Political Satire Prize, Lercio.it continues to publish piercing, witty pieces that build an original and twisted portrait of Italy today.
