Alessandro D’Andrea Calandra gives voice to hope and publishes it “Quartu Savona Quinnici”a song dedicated to the memory of the Capaci massacre. A strong message, with words that invite reflection. So as not to forget, to look forward and move beyond this tragedy, preventing it from recurring in other forms.
Fresh from the success of his first album entitled “Sicilia vacanti”, the singer-songwriter from Agrigento who moved to Veneto becomes a heartfelt chronicler of a past that returns. A memory that does not fade and remains alive, that of “Quartu Savona Quinnici” (), indelible in our common feeling. Fatally wounded in May thirty-two years ago.
A month that Alessandro D’Andrea Calandra celebrates with a piece in dialect, giving free rein to the musical style of his native land. A lyric in which the extraordinary beauty of the landscape hides a reality that is difficult to face. When, due to the infamous and criminal design of casually human beings, the heroes lost their lives.
That May of 1992 in Capaci, near Palermo, a real act of war against the entire Italian community. A bloody criminal act against all humanity. “Quarto Savona Diecici” is the code name of the armored car that was the first to blow up on that terrible Saturday the 23rd.
To the words and music of Alessandro D’Andrea Calandra the task of keeping the image vivid, of honoring the best sons of this earth. Blessed and cursed at the same time. Her song is intended as a tribute to the extreme gift of the judges Giovanni Falcone and Francesca Laura Morvillo and the men of the escort Vito Schifani, Rocco Dicillo and Antonio Montinaro. “Quartu Savona Quinnici”: as long as there is memory, we will have hope.
