Sanremo – Telephant in hand, Marco Mengoni and Filippo Scotti (the protagonist of the film by Paolo Sorrentino “It was the hand of God”, nominated for an Oscar for best international film) go up on the stage of the Ariston theater reading tweets and posts taken from the Net in an escalation of negative comments and characterized by words of hatred and then declaim Article 21 and Article 3 of the Constitution, which sanction freedom of expression and opposition to discrimination based on the sex of citizens, race, language, religion, political opinions, personal and social conditions, underlining how the keyboard can be transformed into a weapon.
A praise of kindness, articulated between words of hatred, words of the Constitution, poetry and music. Then Filippo reads “At a certain point”, by the Campania poet Franco Armini, whose final verses read: “You only owe the greatest sweetness possible to those who will come and those who will go away. It is a celebration in your heart, somehow celebrating the heart of others “. Here, Marco attacks ‘L’essenziale’, the song with him won the Sanremo Festival in 2013. «It is strange to find ourselves here as adults with a different maturity and awareness. Facing this stage is beautiful, I’m a lucky guy “said the super guest of the fifth and final evening of the 72nd edition of the Sanremo Festival.
“When I heard this poem – says Marco – I got excited. We built a beautiful thing, written by me, Filippo and Luca Bottura. I had the feeling that Filippo was a sensitive and profound person and I had confirmation of this by preparing this Sanremo. When someone asks me how I fight this trend of exasperation of tones, hatred and negativity, I respond with kindness. There is a need to calm the tones. Even I have only learned over time that you have to count to 10 before speaking by instinct. And I wanted to bring this experience to Sanremo. Marco from ‘Materia Terra’ (his new project, ed.) Wants to be kinder, think more before making judgments ».
On the 2013 victory, Mengoni says: «In these days at the tests I was reminded of so many emotions that I could not savor well in that Sanremo, at my 24 years of age. Today I promised myself to live it and enjoy it while I live it “, underlines the artist who promotes Sanremo 2022 with flying colors:” Very nice. I saw first and second nights and enjoyed it. In my opinion you feel that there is a desire for shows, songs, sharing. And I found the singers all very happy. A nice climate. The festival of joy? I think so », adds the artist ready to return live with his first stadiums, on June 19 at the San Siro and on June 22 at the Olimpico in Rome. Amadeus’ invitation came a couple of months ago. “I hesitated only at the beginning because I didn’t know what I wanted to do on that stage.”
