intervallo

Generate picture slideshows similar to RAI's iconic "Intervallo"

Usage:

$ intervallo --help
usage: intervallo [-h] [--font file.ttf] [--audio file.mp3] [--duration sec]
                  imgfile [imgfile ...]

Create an Intervallo RAI out of a collection of images.

positional arguments:
  imgfile           input image files

optional arguments:
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  --font file.ttf   Font to use for subtitles
  --audio file.mp3  Audio track
  --duration sec    Time for each image in seconds

For example:

./intervallo --font DejaVuSerif.ttf --audio Paradisi-Toccata.mp3 *.jpg

The images are captioned with their file name, without extension. You may want to rename the image files to have nice descriptive names.

Alternatively, you can create a foo.jpg.txt file for a foo.jpg image, so you can have multiline captions.

See here for a suitable audio. archive.org has a track that is very close to the original, but I did not see information about its license.
