G.ianni Morandi after the burn on his hand that last March kept him in hospital for 27 days he is ready to return to perform live and Sanremo. Tonight resumes until February 17, al Duse Theater of Bologna, the concert series blocked two years ago due to the pandemic.
In the middle we will find it on the stage of the Ariston with the rhythmic piece, with Motown sounds and full of hope (right for these times) Open all doors, written by Lorenzo Jovanotti.
Gianni Morandi and friendship with Jovanotti
The partnership with Jovanotti was born on the occasion of the accident in the hand. Jovanotti called him to find out about his health. “I felt downcast – he says Jovanotti from Morandi’s cell phone – and then I asked him to listen The joy“. “This song was kind of therapy for my mood»Assures the singer of Monghidoro.
Since that moment they have never left each other, their relationship intensified and came the crazy idea of trying to participate in Sanremo. And so the song was born Open all doors, «A song that speaks of hope, of the return of the sun in the house, of the evil that will pass – he says Morandi via Zoom – is a rhythmic piece and different from my classic songs“.
Jovanotti put the “I think positive” into it and what we are going through in this period. Perhaps without that accident in the hand of Morandi, the desire to get back into the game at Ariston would not have sprung.
Morandi: «Sanremo? I’m trembling and I’m already agitated “
Morandi is not new to Sanremo, on the contrary: he has participated several times in the competition (he won it together with Tozzi and Ruggeri in 1987 with More can be given), was a guest and presented it in 2011 and 2012. «For me, going back to that stage is like being a child again, I still have the image of Modugno from 1958 – he says – and I go there with the enthusiasm of the beginner and in the race, yes because it is more beautiful and fun: you live a week of pure adrenaline. I needed an emotional shock. ‘
“I tremble, Sanremo has this effect, even to me who have seen some cooked and raw – continues the singer – I know, my hands will sweat, and I’m already upset. Perhaps young people feel this tension less. Sanremo plays this joke on me ».
Gianni Morandi
Gianni Morandi: «At the Quirinale? A woman would be beautiful “
The elections for the new are approaching President of the Republic. Morandi focuses on a woman. “Women are better than men, I have always supported this, they are more sincere – he is convinced – in my small way I can say that my wife’s ideas are wiser than mine and less scoundrel.
A woman on the hill? It would be great. Many female figures have proven to do well, I am reminded of the Thatcher, the Merkel And Ursula von der Leyen. Women are good, let’s give them responsibilities and we’ll all get better ».
Gianni Morandi will participate in Sanremo 2022 with the song “Open all doors”.
On the hardship of the government to stem the pandemic Morandi it is neutral. “It is not easy to make decisionsi – he declares – I believe that with the green pass and FFP2 masks we can go on, we can go to dinner and to the theater. We will see what happens this summer with the concerts. If the Covid does not go away we will have to continue to deal with it. In the meantime we must continue with the vaccination campaign e try to overcome fears“.
