A more rock and organic approach
In this new tour the sound dimension evolves in line with the album, with a more organic and played approach. To the original lineup, composed of Michelangelo (guitars, piano), Carmine Landolfi (drums) and Emanuele Nazzaro (bass), two musicians are added: Giacomo Ruggeri on guitar and Gabriele Bolognesi, multi-instrumentalist between synth, keyboards and sax. This novelty introduces wind instruments for the first time, strengthening a more rock and material direction.
The live performance goes through the entire repertoire, alternating great hits such as Sleepless Nights, Our Song, You drive me crazyto the most recent songs from the latest album, including Crying at 90 And Even at twenty you diewithout giving up more intimate moments. One is born physical and intense showdesigned to be experienced to the full, without filters.
The essential aesthetics of the Ombra collective
«I’m sure we will have fun. I’m working hard on it and it will be a different tour from all the ones I’ve done so far” says the artist. «Now I’m arriving in the arenas: it’s a new challenge, a stimulus that excites me, precisely because I never know what to expect».
For the stage design, from live design to scenography, the London collective Ombra was involved. Their contribution translates into an essential and direct show: classic stage and araw aesthetics. From a visual point of view, the concept starts from an initial chaos that progressively organizes itself, building a continuously evolving story.
