Italy is the country with the highest number of Opera Theaters in the Nation that boasts very large names of classical music composers. This prestige is recognized all over the world thanks to the work of the Tenors, Pavarotti above all was the most loved worldwide coming to contemplate duet concerts with pop artists, rock in his beloved nometown of Modena.

This is effectively the Italian International Music, the tradition of the so called 'bel canto' that arises from the Opera past has been handed down over the centuries, determining the central element of pop music in the Vocality, in the sweet and above all powerful harmonic sound of the vocal instrument. The Italian song is a musical genre in fact and was born from the Neapolitan song, the San Remo festival once hosted great singer artists who ventured into singing in Italian, even David Bowie (of whom I am a huge fan) recorded his own song singing in Italian.

As a musician I have always been a lover of Rock n'Roll as a young man I preferred the extreme one, the Italian hardcore in the 80s conquered the respect of the overseas audience, a certain niche genre but mainly sung in Italian, growing musically I widened the horizons by studying my instrument thoroughly I have been able to seize the pleasure of playing different styles and genres while remaining firm on the taste for certain types of music.

The experience in England made me touch with my own hands how much the Italian musicians, let's say the non-academic ones, are really much more prepared than the English ones, perhaps this is due to the state of need and ability to adapt also for economic reasons which therefore influenced a lot in my musical training as of other Italian musicians, in any case in my experience it was so, despite being a drummer of hard rock I can chew well jazz, funk, pop, holds and above all I play different types of percussions, both Latin and Arab, darabuka I studied it going directly to North Africa where I had the opportunity to play in weddings and during the Moroccan national festivity known as 'Fantasya' I earned everyone's respect, seeing a westerner with very short hair oxygenated with a lot of tattoo with a cross in the neck, I'm talking about 20 years ago making them mad for having me around.

In any case, Western Music has suffered and is still it's affected by the dominant political economic model, therefore, great musicians are in fact unemployed, they try to make the best of jobs with chores, in Italy then the situation has worsened more and more and despite technology and social media nobody manages to establish themselves in the 'Record Market' Red Ronnie( a famous Italian musical expert journalist) which has had its weight in the diffusion of 'alternative' Italian music could tell, I'm sure it will have already done so, as over the years we have come to this frightening decline cultural, from Fabrizio de Andrè( one of the most beloved Italian author of folk music) who had to get drunk in order to play live to Achille Lauro( a contemporary singer...) who dresses in a thousand ways thinking he is innovative transgressive, when you just have to look at the 70s staying in Italy to understand how substantially worth is the Achille Lauro 'record product'.

The fact that a Rock band can engage in a 'let's say' political battle is a foregone conclusion so it was in the past so it is no longer today where the conformism of the so-called popular music genres is at a stage that really you only have to be disgusted , the Negazione hardcore punk 80s local band of Turin were young people who questioned the economic model of that time but above all that the Italian capitalism itself that had transformed the Italian society by approving everything to a materialism that today has even grown exponentially reaching the waste of time, money but above all crippling in irreversibly the value plan of what are the real needs of the mankind That Andrea Bocelli takes the microphone not to sing but to express a nonconforming critical thought as he did recently, is an extraordinary fact, especially because it has international visibility and then it is one of those things that you just don't expect from a singer of the its level and the environment from which it comes, forget Pavarotti and friends, this is another matter, in this absurd historical moment in which the western world above all, had to stop, in which governments and ours in particular have violated the ABC of Democracy and which still continues in deeds with all the contradictions see uncontrolled migratory flows of people invading Italy positive to the covid roaming the country, while Lamorgese Minister of Interior claims that nothing can be done but supply cruise ships not to clog Lampedusa ......

Boccelli's words do not go specifically, although his political gesture had a disinterested character with respect to this or that party, he made a speech expressing a point of view common to all Italians.

The suspension of Democracy is still ongoing, while I'm writing all the media claim that cases of contagion have increased in the world, our government has compiled a list of countries to which citizens are prohibited from entering to Italy while it is a fact the ongoing Mass Invasion from Tunisia they land independently as any vacationers without anyone stopping them, carry out tight checks and despite the fact that Tunisia have been supported by Italy,indeed Italy in recent years has dropped money to support the newly formed Arab Democracy , only recently 100 million Euros to the Tunisian industrial system given during the lock down .... Di Maio( Minster of Foreign affairs) has extended the citizenship income ... The Dictatorship is underway and still there are few and scattered groups of protesters not without risking anything, in September and October when there will be many of us with the disperation up to the neck, when further shutters will lower we will be tied to the hands and feet to force us to accept EMF, or rather hijacking the social clash between native people and these welfare migrants to whom they are selling the European dream on purpose.

We must find the same strength and the same courage that Bocelli had shown, certainly he is a billionaire, it doesn't matter we must raise our heads and impose our will against this government of treacherous puppets and stop passively suffering in particular this cheating on us that is not acceptable anymore.
