The comment of the director Ezio Nannipieri

“We are talking about very different songs from each other, in themes, in the musical character, in the interpretative approach. It means that there is a generation of young artists immune from evil that risks reducing the Italian song to a single soup. Musicultura is honored and proud to feel at the service of this way of conceiving and living the songs.“
