Italia Loves Romagna will be held today at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia (Campovolo), the big concert to support the populations affected by last May’s flood.
Blanco, Andrea Bocelli, Elisa, Elodie, Emma, Giorgia, Irama & Rkomi, Ligabue, Madame, Fiorella Mannoia, Gianni Morandi, Negramaro, Laura Pausini, Max Pezzali, Salmo, Tananai, Zucchero (under the lineup) will perform. On stage there will be a band of ten musicians and the 63 elements of the National Symphony Orchestra of the Italian Conservatories (OSNC) coming mainly from Emilia-Romagna for the occasion, all with the musical direction of Leonardo De Amicis and Carlo Di Francesco.
The stalls will be divided into zones, between single seats and unnumbered seats, with tickets ranging from 49 to 70 euros (plus presale). Starting time 20:30, concert area doors open at 17.
Produced and organized by Friends & Partners, Riservarossa, Vivo and Magellano, with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Rai, the Emilia-Romagna Region and Siae, the concert will be broadcast live on Rai 1 at 20.30, with the participation of Amadeus, Alessia Marcuzzi, Giorgio Panariello and Francesca Fagnani. Starting from the same time, the backstage with Andrea Delogu will be visible on RaiPlay.
The solidarity number 45538 is active and will be until 5 July: you donate 2 euros for each text message (Wind Tre, TIM, Vodafone, Iliad, PosteMobile, Coop Voce and Tiscali); 5 or 10 euros for calls from a TIM, Vodafone, Wind Tre, Fastweb, Tiscali and Geny landline; 5 euros for calls from TWT, Convergenze and PosteMobile landlines. It is also possible to donate through a current account: here is the detailed information.
The funds raised, explained the President of the Emilia-Romagna Region Stefano Bonaccini, “will be allocated to projects dedicated to culture: schools, libraries, music schools in the most affected provinces of Forlì, Cesena and Ravenna”. Thanks to the partners and sponsors, said Ferdinando Salzano of Friends & Partners, “we won’t touch a single euro and we will give everything to charity”.
