Italy Loves Romagna. The great concert event that raised funds for the flooded populations of Romagna hit the mark both in terms of the money raised and on television where it obtained over 30.8% and 3,450,000 viewers.
Over 40,000 tickets sold when the gates open (to which, for the final balance, those sold at the box office will have to be added), equal to around 1.8 million Euros which will be entirely allocated to the reconstruction, net of VAT and of SIAE rights. A heritage which, as the President said Stefano Bonaccini, your Region has been able to demonstrate that it is able to return with interest. He already did it 11 years after the earthquake and he will be able to do it again this time.
And like 11 years ago, Italy loved Emilia (remember Italy Love Emilia always at Campovolo?), today Italy loves Romagna.
A success for the charity and for the artists who have made themselves available. From Laura Pausini, Sugar And Gianni Morandi who were born in these lands, ad Andrea Bocelli who, as he recalled both on live TV and in the press room, lived here for 6 years of his childhood. Ligabuealso from Emilia, who was the first to choose Campo Volo to give a concert near his home.
Artists who have written their own piece of Italian music history. Max Pezzali who has been one of our company for 30 years with whom we sing all his songs at the top of our lungs. The delicacy of Elisethe energy of Emmathe interpretative force of Fiorella Mannoia and of Georgia that after One none and one hundred thousand (with the Pausini) I’m still here. The personality of Negramaro who do not forget the Marches, heavily damaged by the same flood (oh no, it was not a gaffe that of Julian Sangiorgi who knew very well the destination of the concert).
The new generation that already has a good track record. Elodies, Psalm, Irama & Rkomi up to the discoveries of recent years.
Tananai who with her humility and her smiling eyes duetted with two greats, Max Pezzali And Ligabueentering on tiptoe and allowing himself to be given his rightful space.
Madame And Blancotwo very young people who are stepping forward in music with great personality and determination.
Here are the statements of some of them to which is added the common voice of all: let’s continue to donate.
LAURA PAUSINI
Being here is an honor as well as a pleasure, I’ve always been proud of my land around the world and doing it on this occasion is the most natural thing in the world for me, it’s a duty. Since this tragedy occurred, I have tried to help not only personally, but also by being willing to be there on all occasions that could give concrete help to the inhabitants of my Romagna. Today everything has changed in this wonderful land, but the strength and determination of my people has not changed, as they try to get back up with great effort, never giving up. And today my thoughts go out to all of them, including my family members and my school friends involved. I’m about to leave for my new live adventure after 4 years, but returning to the stage starting from this charity concert having the opportunity to make my voice available for our areas so affected, moves me deeply. I go back on stage for them and I dedicate all my voice to them.
GEORGIA
Once again we find ourselves together right where we were exactly one year ago and even then we celebrated solidarity and togetherness in the name of music. tonight it’s important to remind ourselves that dear Romagna needs all of us to get up from the flood, and even a small donation can make a difference if added to all the others, each voice is important especially when it joins the others.
WHITE
Participating in this event is very important to me, my invitation to all the people who will be watching us here and from home is to donate to this cause, music has the power to convey emotions managing to bring people together and I am very happy to be able to make a contribution through this wonderful initiative.
We remind you that all the singers took part in the event free of charge and, net of VAT and SIAE, the proceeds will be entirely donated to charity thanks to the sponsors who have covered the out-of-pocket costs.
