SOn stage, space is also given to emerging artists: 11 selected will have the opportunity to perform before the live shows in Milan and Bari.
Yes, Vasco is looking for talent. This is how the Zocca Città della Musica Festival was born, a singing competition, in the theater of the famous ‘village’, whose aim is to offer the finalists the opportunity to open the tour dates. It’s like giving a dream, which they will share with the students of the music school named after Massimo Riva, Raffi (aka Raffaella Pierattoni) and Denise Faro, who will also propose Free if I likewritten by Rossi himself.
Do you meet fans after concerts?
Yes, and you never save money. She usually stays in the dressing room until two in the morning to sign autographs and have a chat. And I must say, despite ourselves, because until he comes out, he won’t let go (laughs).
You know the front rows by now. They will camp at least a couple of nights beforehand.
They are fond. But can I add something?
God forbid.
Among those in the front row, there are also the bullies. People convinced that that position is rightfully theirs, and they do not hesitate to obtain it even with violence. As a result, unpleasant incidents are not uncommon. Unfortunately there isn’t much to do, I can’t send them away, I hope that sooner or later they’ll get tired on their own.
There are those who compare Ultimo to Vasco…
It is common to make comparisons with other artists. “That will be the heir” – it is said – but every artist has his own uniqueness. Nowadays comparisons are only made with numbers, but anyone who tries to match Vasco, be it Ultimo or anyone else, will always remain one step behind. Vasco was the trailblazer, and this is the most complicated thing. He’s number one.
