“Night before exams” turns forty and for the birthday of the song by Antonello Venditti the Capitoline Wolf will be given to the singer-songwriter. The Giulio Cesare Chamber is in fact preparing to vote on a motion signed by the councilors of the Democratic Party, but which in all likelihood will be voted unanimously by all political forces, including the opposition. After all, everyone has sung “Notte prima degli exami” at least once, published in 1984 on the album Cuore and capable of crossing generations and generations of sleepless high school graduates or nostalgic high school seniors.

Thus, the motion which should be approved already this week, “commits the mayor and the council in relation to: the fortieth anniversary of the song ‘Night before exams’. Conferment to the singer-songwriter Antonello Venditti of the honor of the Capitoline Wolf and/or other honor of the city” and there are those who are already ready to sing the song at the top of their lungs when one of the symbols of the Roman singer-songwriter arrives in the Giulio Cesare Hall. Meanwhile, preparations are underway to award the Golden Wolf to Claudio Baglioni, the first singer-songwriter to receive this recognition. The ceremony will be held on Saturday, again in the Aula Giulio Cesare, to pay homage to the extraordinary career of the artist who, during the promotion of the aTuttoCuore tour, announced his retirement from the stage by 2026: one thousand more days – with reference to his famous song, ” A thousand days of you and me” – to sing and play live. Meanwhile, Rome rewards him with the city’s highest honour, recently awarded to director Paola Cortellesi for the film “There’s Still Tomorrow” and, returning to the musical field, to the rock band Maneskin in 2021.
