The comment
“When I spoke to Umberto about an evening at the Roman theater he immediately lit up! – said Mauro Farina, CEO of The Saifam Group. – In addition to being an artistic talent and a person of great culture and humanity, Umberto is very close to Verona and with Simone and Giò Zampieri we immediately got to work to offer all citizens an evening to embrace a Veronese who has been he never stops receiving success and affection from those who follow him. Thinking that in the ’80s I had the honor of writing a song with him with the emblematic title “Friends” and that after a long time I became his music publisher, accompanying him in his activity as a soundtrack composer, fills me with pride. . Forty years later, our paths continue to cross… Oh yes, because I too am a “friend” of Smaila”.
“It will be an unrepeatable opportunity to meet the artists and friends who were closest to me. They will go on stage to sing and have fun together and delight us with some gems from their repertoire, confirming that friendship is ultimately one of the few certainties of our life. I’m waiting for you Umberto” announced the artist who, with a video message posted in recent days on his social channels, officially launched the Veronese date.
“The long-awaited SMAILA AND FRIENDS event at the Theater will not only give us an evening of entertainment and fun, but will also have a significant impact on the lives of our clients – announced President Fiorio. – Part of the proceeds from this event will go to our association, which is committed to supporting people affected by muscular dystrophy.
