CHIETI. Solidarity wins on stage. «It’s been 12 years without ever giving up because for Noemi and hundreds of children like her every year is a victory». As Andrea Sciarretta kicks off the party in a packed theater. Every ticket sold added a drop of love for the Progetto Noemi association, born thanks to the little warrior from Guardiagrele, suffering from SMA1, who has become a symbol that has crossed every border. Over 400 tickets were sold, for a profit of 7 thousand euros which will be invested in the project and “in the most important principle in the world”, says father Andrea, “respect and the right to life”. While on the big screen, mounted on the theater stage, the images of Noemi’s Island of Colors, the first Abruzzo pediatric intensive care unit opened in the Pescara hospital, scroll by. AND Federico Perrottaorganizer of the evening of the heart, with Valentina Olla, who in addition to being his wife is a recognized all-round artist, sing the notes of Shallow, the famous tune by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Valentina then performs “E va e va”, the tune made famous by Alberto Sordi, which she jokingly dedicates to Federico. But it is only the beginning of an evening that she gave, in the name of Noemi, a whirlwind of performances and emotions. Seasoned with jokes and laughter. Starting from those snatched from the public by the comedian Elijah which preceded a particular greeting, that of Maria Grazia Cucinotta who, from the video, sent his message to little Noemi: “Congratulations princess”.
The ballet of the Kiwanis ladies, to the tune of the song Fomidable, repeated later by a second performance (Mammamia by Abba) also drew applause as did the ballet by Indacoteatro Giovani, with Federica Vicino as director, dedicated to the bear Juan Carrito. Applause, more applause, in full swing for the performances of 4 Saintsof the actress Cinzia Leoneand for Paolo Ruffini, Nut, Serena Rossi And Maccio Capatonda, who greeted the audience remotely. And again: for the fantastic Chinese shadows of the virtuoso Oscar StrizziFor Domenico Turchi from Gessopalena and for karaoke with the piano teacher Elio De Pasquale. And then the performance of ‘Nduccio who, for the occasion, dusted off one of his strong points: the song Signurì.
The greeting from one of the Abruzzo director’s stages Pierluigi Di Lallo it served as a prelude to the finale entrusted to a great voice. The one of Manuela Villa who made his debut with Tu si ‘na cosa bella by Domenico Modugno. And she moved Marrucino’s four hundred with an exceptional interpretation of Caruso that few of her would have been able to interpret better than her. Perhaps her father, Claudio Villa. Happy birthday Naomi!
