Hit and run love, the one left to fade away too soon, or confused among the lights of the nightclub. The love that you fool yourself into forgettingthe one found, the one you thought would never arrive, but also disenchanted lovequestioned and weighed, betrayed with false cheerfulness, lost in the rivulets of life as well as in the laundry basket. Sergio Caputo in over 40 years of music constantly balanced between jazz and pop gave voice and a unique lexicon for unspeakable feelings which however all of us have experienced at least once in our lives, especially when we find ourselves going through that period in which you don’t want to give up on the idea of having grown up and you tend to postpone entering the world of responsibilities by playing hide and seek with friends, destiny and above all with love.
“Italian Saturday”, existential manifesto
A period that he crystallized into an album that has become a existential manifesto based on margaritas and blondes dyed under the moon, on mewing courtyards and jukeboxes that whisper “wasciù-wariu-và”, on heats watered by Guinness and a certain melancholy miss who enjoys shuffling the cards. That album, nine songs that his fans recite like a rosary at his concerts, is precisely that of “Italian Saturday”.
I walked into meetings on roller skates
Today Sergio Caputo is no longer an art director who enters meetings on roller skates and upsets potential customers. And not even that thirty-year-old Roman with a hobby of playing the saxophone and a passion for swing who was adopted by Milano by Night. But music has always been an integral part of his life as an artist which in the meantime has transformed into that of a family man who is about to complete his 70 years old: “I’m not sure what I’ll do, but I’ll definitely celebrate. Maybe with a nice concert. It has a certain effect to think of being 70 years old, also because inside I feel 30 even if I no longer do the things I did then.” So, with his three blond children and his beloved wife Christina in tow, he is touring Italy with a tour celebrating that album of evergreens that have not aged at all, “apart from a few anachronisms given that in the meantime I stopped smoking”.

Women have always fascinated me
A tour that is selling out everywhere and is an opportunity for asentimental interview, based on those emotions that crowded those texts. “The female universe has always fascinated me. Ever since I was very little I remember falling in love with teachers and substitutes, with cashiers and bakers. Women are the other part of Heaven, the less rough and imbued with beauty. Then, of course, there are many differences in the approach that males and females have with love. As for me, I have finally found the real one 17 years ago with Cristina. A love, ours, which is not based on opposition and dialectics, as often happens. The two of us are very similar and I must say that it is really relaxing not to have to argue about everything and if necessary give in just because something makes the one you love feel good.”
My crazy and unforgettable nights
So today his nights are no longer filled with Martini Dry and clubs but with “children to put to bed and a good film on the sofa”. And he confesses: “in truth I was never one to go out with friends. I preferred go out alone, but only because, he adds laughing, he got caught more? Usually I went out alone and came back in company.” “For example, three of my exes came to Rome. Embarrassment? No. Time fixes everything. And even in some stories that end badly, the pleasure of meeting again after so many years is preserved.” Now he has published what looks like a self-portrait in the mirror, “I am a free spirit”. “Actually I always have been. And whoever tried to force me into clichés had to give up.”
