Cesare Cremonini and the conquest of San Siro

He had said it and proved it: «I was born to do stages. It is no coincidence that I have Freddie Mercury’s tattoo ». Cesare Cremonini the whole stadium among the most legendary in Italy, the San Siro in Milan, with over fifty-five thousand people shouting his name and singing his songs for two and a half hours. A triumph.

It is the concert in which Cremonini says he aims to bring together his three souls: the performer, the artist And the man. We start with the first, the performer, a sequin jacket and an appearance on a mobile platform that whirls around the stage, while confetti rains down on the audience from the sky, to the notes of The girl of the future, the latest success. There is room for everything in the lineup, from the new album to the old hits, there is also the Lunapopwith three songs: 50 special that blows up the stadium, jumps and nineties nostalgia, Something big And A better day. Peace made with that cumbersome past excluded from the ladders for twenty years? It seems so.

The lineup of the Cesare Cremonini concert at San Siro in Milan.

There are ballads Poetic And Nobody wants to be Robinthe new pieces and the cornerstones of his repertoire, such as Father mother, with the first choir in unison of the stadium. Among the moments with the highest emotional rate is the virtual duet with Lucio Dallawhich appears on the big central screen, and sings with him thanks to the voice extrapolated directly from the original master of the disc on Starfishthe love song par excellence: “But don’t call it homage, mine is a duet thanks to which I bring Lucio where he deserved,” said Cesare.

In the summer when the stadiums reopen and the maxi concerts restart, the model is always Vasco: «He invented what in the music industry today we call an event, he did it with the Imola concert in ’98: I was there, I was 18 and it marked my growth and my idea of ​​music».

Today Cesare finds yet another confirmation of the intuition he had a few years ago: «I was 25 years old. Many told me that I should have given myself to a certain type of songwriting. Roberto De Luca, of Live Nation, told me that I could become a great performer. I had a choice before me – theaters or stages – and introduced himself to me during a dinner. I didn’t sleep that night. ‘ The rest is history.
