Fun story:

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*.
