«2046 is the year in which, according to NASA, an asteroid will hit the earth. The presumed end date has become the starting point of a space journey in which we question ourselves about the challenges and opportunities that the future holds for us – says Fabio Rovazzi – who, this morning, debuts with the podcast 2046, on all digital platforms, together with Marco Mazzoli, the famous radio host and creator of the famous 105 Zoo». Starring aboard a spaceship, in a thirteen-episode, weekly series in which the protagonists immerse themselves in the minds of innovators, opinion leaders, artists and many others, offering listeners the unique opportunity to discover their personal stories, their challenges and their visions for the future. «In this podcast – he continues – we don’t have experts, otherwise no one would have watched it. Let’s compare two completely different characters, we’ll see what comes out.” But that’s not all, the artist has released a new single «Maranza», with the duo il Pagante and yesterday he made his debut as a judge, on Canale 5 at «Io Canto Family». To launch the song, Rovazzi, pseudonym of Fabio Piccolrovazzi, thought of a fun marketing idea, pretending to steal his phone in Milan, without foreseeing that this could create a large media short circuit. And on the attacks of the mayor of Milan Beppe Sala he specified: «I am sorry and also a little surprised given that a few months ago Sala acted as an extra in the Club Dogo video, where Milan is represented as Gotham City, the criminal par excellence, but no councilor has threatened to sue him.”

Rovazzi, but who is the maranza?
«It’s typical Milanese: mirrored lenses in iridescent colours, shoulder bag on the chest, valuable watches and necklaces, acetate tracksuit and designer sneakers with rigorous contrasting socks. The word maranza has always existed and is attributed to the classic street kids who go around in large groups, come from the outskirts of the city and pose as bullies. In the 80s there were paninari.
Today they are here and I will tell them without controversy.”
We also saw it on the jury at Io Canto Family. Were you very excited?
«Yes, very much. I didn’t expect it. It’s a journey that won my heart thanks to the unifying power of music and family bonds.”
Content creator, eclectic communicator, singer, author, also took the stage at Saremo. Would you return as a host?
«I would accept the proposal. It’s an opportunity, once in a lifetime even if I admit that I wouldn’t be able to select the singers like Amadeus did. I would like another role. A space to create international gags with well-written interludes.”
A dream to realize?
«A work written and directed by me. A little 007, a little action, a little thriller, a little comedy. I would like to put myself at the center of the situation as usual: me doing nothing, with all the things happening around me. I’m already working on it. Let’s hope it goes well.”
