The godmother of the 30th Rome Pride 2024 And Annalisa. She will be the queen who will parade through the streets of the capital on Saturday 15 June, together with 40 floats (a record), from Piazza della Repubblica to the Baths of Caracalla. Then the final party moves to the Capannelle Hippodrome for Rock Me Pride. And together with Annalisa will be there Big Mama, Sarah, new winner of Friendsthe comedian Brenda Lodigiani and many other guests.
The soundtrack is Sincerely, the Ligurian singer’s Sanremo hit. A manifesto song in the name of freedom. «Freedom is a key concept that is taken for granted, but is not taken for granted», says Annalisa, «every person must have the opportunity to follow their own inclinations, passions and life and career dreams. She must be free to assert her existence and personality. The fact that certain choices are still not protected today is a problem that must be resolved. The shout of Pride, thanks also to pop music, must reach as far as possible and to as many people as possible, many do not know what this event means.”
The right-wing wind that blew at the last European Championships casts a bit of a shadow on the party, Annalisa continued: «I am worried and I’m sorry because I find it quite incredible that even today, in 2024, certain issues are not experienced as taken for granted», comments the singer, «For me it is obvious that every person should have the freedom to choose the life they want and should have rights. It is not so. But problems can sometimes be transformed into opportunities.”
Sincerely she is the standard bearer of the 30th Rome Pride that promises record numbers. «I will also sing My love», assures Annalisa, «these songs are important for me and for Pride. I am proud and excited thinking about the unthinkable paths that some of my songs have taken“, goes on. «I feel very close to the theme of freedom and I experience it as a singer-songwriter: I feel the need to talk about it. I did it with da Beautiful to Sincerely. I started from the freedom to also show ourselves as losers. It happens to everyone, right? To then move on to the freedom to love whoever you want and to take space for yourself, without fear.”
For Annalisa, being at Pride Roma «is a different emotion», he admits, «there are many aspects that come into play, it’s not just my music. There is an important message to convey: it is a unique opportunity to draw attention to the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and everyone. Furthermore, participating in this great parade is the realization of a dream, because it means that the words of your songs are beyond youthat that seed planted in the midst of many words can germinate in the conscience of other people.”
And on the voices they already see Annalisa with Carlo Conti on the Sanremo 2025 stage, the person concerned responds: «There are rumors, for now, I don’t know anything about it Sanremo» he smiles.
