Primo dopo Tenco, ieri sera. Con Irma, @ceci e Totta.
(mi dicono il batterista sia lo stesso di Leonard Cohen 👀)
Dall’ingresso dell’Ariston al palco, passando dietro le quinte.
La magia di questo teatro è esaltata da quella del Tenco…

Woah, last weekend I presented two evenings of almost non-stop music in the Temple of Italian songwriting, the Club Tenco headquarters. It was incredible to introduce on-stage talented and marvellous human beings who performed awesome music.
Club Tenco is one of those sacred institutions with an incredible history that, unfortunately, are dying because of the lack of young participants.
Since 2017, I am one of the only five under-50 members of the association, and it’s saddening, but also it makes our involvement so special! I am glad the @scambi team (fourth picture) is joining the resistance. If it’s happening, it’s thanks to my wonderful friend Francesco Maccario, a grumpy yet committed Club Tenco member who valued our participation since we were 17, and who now still fights for our voice as young members to be heard.
This is the stuff I love.
Not caring about huge stages nor big crowds, fucking the capitalistic and empty music industry, resisting by still listening to the words in a song, by getting together despite everything and listening to/making/playing music. A bit like what @radiofreefedi and @musicbrainz represent in the digital domain.
Please read the alt text for more context about the pictures.
(I am sorry there are mostly pictures of me, but these are the only ones they sent me. I am egocentric, yes, but not that much 😬)
it is one of my greatest dreams to host the “Rassegna della Canzone d’Autore” one of the most renowned international prizes for songwriting, held at Ariston, the same theatre where the Festival di Sanremo (the Italian Eurovision) takes place. Antonio Silva, the current presenter who has been the only presenter Club Tenco has ever had since the first Rassegna in 1974, knows about my ambition, and he considers me his nemesis, but deep down we love each other.
Oh, this is not the story, actually It was just the premise. Here’s the story:
The first time he allowed me on stage with him, it was in a minor event of Club Tenco in la Pigna (where @scambi takes place), in 2018. I still remember vividly going on that stage under huge pressure, and introducing Enrico Nigiotti. While that was happening, the historical photographer of Club Tenco, my friend Mauro Vigorosi, shot the first picture you see in this post. It became my profile picture almost everywhere.
Last weekend, almost seven years after that picture, Mauro shot another one, the second one you see here.
Obviously, it totally has to become my new profile picture, now.
End of stori*es*.
