The clip comes from La Zanzara, the long-running Radio 24 talk show hosted by Giuseppe Cruciani, known for provocative calls and heated exchanges with listeners. Cruciani's repeated 'Ma in quale città?' became a catchphrase because he uses it to challenge callers who describe surreal local episodes as if they were normal. Short extracts began circulating in Italy as WhatsApp audios, YouTube edits and reaction clips, detached from the full broadcast. It remains popular because the question works anywhere disbelief needs a deadpan, very Italian punchline.
About this sound
Giuseppe Cruciani asks 'Ma in quale città?' on La Zanzara, the incredulous Italian radio line used as a reaction to absurd stories and claims.
This is Giuseppe Cruciani's exasperated question 'Ma in quale città?' — but in which city? — recorded from the Italian radio show La Zanzara. He fires it at a caller mid-story, his voice rising in disbelief as if the place itself would explain the madness. The line is short, sharp and instantly recognisable to Italian listeners, even out of context. Played on its own it turns any unbelievable anecdote, news item or group chat claim into a joke, because the question sounds serious while clearly mocking what came just before it.
