The record-breaking concert Last to Rome Tor Vergatawith its 250,000 people, not only moved the public. In the hours surrounding the event, many names in Italian music chose to have their say on Niccolo Moriconiand they did it to rally around him, not to reduce him. From Vasco Rossithe previous record holder, a Cesare Cremoniniuntil Ermal Half And Laura Pausini.
Vasco Rossi: “Every record is made to be broken”
The most significant message, for reasons of symbol, is that of Vasco Rossi. The record of paying spectators that Last he just rewrote belonged to him, to the 225,173 of Modena Park. And instead of defending it, Blasco handed it over with a smile: “Kom…congratulations to Ultimo and the city of Rome. I'm really happy for Niccolò. Every record is made to be broken. Make way for young people, that's right. I love you, Niccolò, and then we'll meet like the stars”. A few lines, with its unmistakable “K”, which are worth more than any analysis.
Cesare Cremonini's words for Ultimo
The longest and most detailed message came from Cesare Cremoninilinked to Last for years, as we already said when the two met in the studio in 2024 (here is our article). The Bolognese singer-songwriter took the defense of Nicholas precisely on the most discussed point, that of comparisons: “The judgments filtered through comparisons with other great popular leaders of Italian music are out of place and in some ways embarrassing”. And he offered his reading of the stage name: “Perhaps Ultimo means exactly this: the last heir of a Rome that was the delivery room of eternal songs that we all know. Ultimately we are all the last heirs of something that we don't want to disappear”. The closing, simple: “Congratulations Nic. Get everything tonight, you deserve it”.
Ermal Meta, Laura Pausini and the other artists
He focused on the meaning of that gathering Ermal Meta: “There is a great romance in 250,000 people coming together for a concert. All those hearts beating to the same rhythm. It tastes like the future, it tastes like life, it tastes like revolution”. More direct Laura Pausiniwhich played with the singer-songwriter's stage name: “When the last are the first you have to celebrate with pride. Especially when they deserve it like you”. Voices that add to those who had already exposed themselves in recent months, such as Tiziano Ferrowhose words we had told for Ultimo.
The message from Jacqueline, Ultimo's partner
Among the most personal messages, that of Jacqueline Luna Di Giacomocompanion of Last and mother of little Enea, returned for the occasion from New York, where she works. He entrusted a short and heartfelt sentence to a reel: “A sea of emotions that only you can bring out”. The private piece of a day which, between numbers and words of colleagues, confirmed how around Niccolo Moriconi a love has been formed that goes beyond the rankings.
