Chaos erupted during the day of December 14, when it became known that Christine D’Avenafresh from her forty-year career, would take part as a guest in the festivities for the 10 years of Fratelli d’Italia celebrated in Rome from 15 to 18 December. This choice has been criticized on social media by several fans who have expressed disappointment at the fact that D’Avena has agreed to perform for a party that has always viewed LGBTQ+ issues with suspicion despite the fact that she has often been described as “agay icon». Along with many criticisms – Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini will also participate in the party – others have decided to throw a spear in favor of Cristina D’Avena. Like Fiorello.

«Everyone must be free to express themselves how and where they want. I sang for the communists and she for Meloni,” said the showman during his program Long live Rai2. Hence the response of the person concerned through a long message that he wanted to share via social media: «For forty years I have been singing in all the places where I am well liked and welcomed. In the squares of the towns, in the buildings of the cities, in the theatres, on television, in the Lgbtq+ parties and also at the Unity Festivals. In the Prides and at the Vatican. And always and everywhere with all possible commitment and gratitude,” wrote the singer. «Because my songs want nothing more than to bring happiness and light-heartedness to those who grew up with them and to those who sing them with me. All, without exception. And this is not indifference, but freedom”.
«Tonight, like all the others, I am not bringing ideologies, but music – underlined once again Cristina D’Avena -. I don’t take sides and I don’t change my skin suddenly. I accepted an invitation to sing, not to serve under a flag. And if I can turn a controversy into something more useful, I would like this to be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate (if ever there was still a need) that music unites, includes, comforts. I have supported, and will always support, civil rights and the universal love that should be the basis of the growth of every human being. I sing Polloni Smurfs, memos, Cat eyes, Mila and Shirou… They are hymns of lightness and fantasy… and of no other nature or pretension». A concept on which Fiorello also seems to agree who, again during his program, recalled that he sang once at the Festa dell’Unità: «If I had sung on the other side, it would have happened as in this case. Everyone must be free to express themselves how and where they want. I sang for the communists and she for Meloni ».
