What is pop? This is explained well by the parable of Alfa, a rapper who consecrated himself in Sanremo with the duet together with Roberto Vecchioni, singer-songwriter symbol of the left, but who has now also become a regular listener in the home of Giorgia Meloni, political symbol of the right. Transversal, he overlooks divisions and welcomes everything with a smile, as the author of Bellissimissima himself explained to us, who also sent a video to the daughter of the prime minister and the journalist Andrea Giambruno…
CI knew Alpha just because I was very amused by his song Very beautiful which has a very funny rhyme that says: «You want to read the messages with that friend of mine/But you didn’t understand that she’s just a friend/And with your third finger you point me to the exit». The inglorious end of her most important love story. Then my journalist Tiziana Cialdea told me about him at lunch, we had also met the journalist and my friend Andrea Giambruno together with his daughter Ginevra, daughter of Andrea and Giorgia Meloni, I’m talking about the prime minister, and I was amazed at how Ginevra knew all Alfa’s songs by heart. I thought of a singer loved by very young people. Then I was invited to Pride in Padua where I had to record a podcast for the radio together with Lorenzo Marchetti, the creative of Virgo Cosmetics, the great DJ of R101 Fernando Proce. Giacomo Urtis was also present who, despite being an aesthetic doctor, is above all a born comedian because he manages to make anything funny. Shortly before there was a concert by Alfa and I was impressed because his songs were known both by very young people, but also by much older people of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years old. On the other hand I had no doubts because the most beautiful song sung in Sanremo at the duets evening was precisely the song by Roberto Vecchioni Dream boy dream, an extremely emotional piece, in the interpretation of Vecchioni, wonderful and poetic, and of Alfa, who seemed like a child who entered a pastry shop, happy like him just to perform in Sanremo with one of the greatest singer-songwriters. I was also moved and Alfa added some text to it, a final slash from Alfa truly beautiful and profoundwith a hint of drama.
It was a great emotion Alfa.
It was a great emotion for me too.
Furthermore, Roberto Vecchioni is a singer who is also loved by your parents’ generation.
In fact it was an emotion for them too.
Your parents didn’t even want you to be a singer.
They were worried, especially my mother who is a psychologist. They thought it would be a safer job for their son and with a certain sacrifice they had enrolled me at Bocconi in Milan, they saw a different future for me. I had a somewhat difficult relationship with my mother on this point. However, my father, who is a nurse, also accompanied me to the auditions.
No breaks.
Only frictions. After the first real concert and my first real performance on stage I understood that this would be my future. It was January 30, 2020, that day I decided to leave Bocconi.
But do you know that you are Ginevra Giambruno’s favorite singer, the daughter of Andrea and Giorgia Meloni?
Of course, I also made a video with my cell phone for her, I sent it to her. She was very nice, she came to hear me more than once.
And what do you do now?
As many concerts as possible. I want to spend the summer playing.
It’s love?
No names are mentioned.
But I know you have a heart tattoo on your arm that’s broken in two.
Look at it, it’s dedicated to the girl of Very beautiful . From our suffering, because it really broke my heart, something good can come.
