Michele Bravi It provides the map of his new artistic project dedicated to grandparents, their love story and Alzheimer's who struck Grandna Graziella: a song, a short film and a book. An intimate and profound journey born from a true story, which had as its starting point a narrative story.
We had left with our previous article, published in December, when – guest of Mara Venier a Sunday in – Lino Banfi “I will spoil” on live television the existence of a short film linked to the Alzheimer signed by Michele Bravi. Today, almost two months later, the artist breaks the silence and tells the whole story through a long video published on his social networks.
Michele Bravi: the artistic project dedicated to grandparents
The one mentioned by Banfi was only the tip of the iceberg. The real heart of the project is one Song dedicated to grandparents Luigi and GraziellaThat Michele He wrote two years ago to tell their love story and the disease that, at a certain point, entered their life: Alzheimer's.
“It is a story full of humility but also of pain“, explains Michele Braviunderlining how this song was designed as a gift for the grandparents' wedding anniversary, coinciding with the final of Sanremo. However, the passage of the song at the Festival was rejected, causing – among other things – also the end of his contract with Emi Records / Universal Music Italia.
Despite this, the project did not stop. Indeed, it has expanded: A song, a short film and a book. Three different languages to tell the same story: that of Luigi and Graziella.
“Love has coordinates”: Michele Bravi's story
In the video shared on social media, Michele Bravi retraces the entire story, almost as if it were a real fairy tale. An affectionate and moved narrative, without rhetoric, which starts from Città di Castelloafter the war, and crosses decades of life, work, children, grandchildren and finally Alzheimer's.
“It is as if love had coordinates, and theirs were via dei Vinchi Torsi, corner via Santa Margherita»Says Michele, bringing out the value of memory as an instrument of affection and resistance.
The project comes to life in three forms: one songalready written but not yet officially published; a short film with the participation of Linen Banfi; and finally a bookwhich will be a reinterpretation of the original history and will be released later during the year.
The map of the project: music, cinema, literature
“A story, three artistic vocabularies to tell it“, Like this Michele Bravi summarizes the idea behind the project. The map is clear: music To touch emotions, cinema To show the faces, literature To keep and pass on.
“Treat them my grannies well“The songwriter concludes. A tender invitation, which sounds like a poetic manifesto for a project that is much more than a single record: it is a declaration of love.
