Irene Fornaciari and being “daughter of”

As she herself explained, always in the theme of being “children of”, “there are pros and cons. There are many prejudices against me. TO Sometimes you judge me without having listened to me and this hurts me “.

She would like to be evaluated “beyond the fact of being a daughter of art, making me known for what I am without being painted differently ».

In her concerts, on the other hand, «I am already independent: my fans recognize me without seeing me as Zucchero’s daughter. However, a daughter of art will always remain such“. And he can’t do anything about it.

Also because she doesn’t seem to want to give up on music. “Music is mine reason for living“, he said. «A friend, a therapy that it also helped me overcome my shyness“.

When he sings, he hears “freeis the best way to express myself, is a moment of great release, of freedom. When I play live the share emotionssee people who get excited with meis the best thing that can happen to me. I am lucky to be able to make my passion my job ».

Irene Fornaciari’s love for music

Since childhood, we said, she breathes music (she participated in the album Bluesugar father’s), but his own official debut It dates back to 2006, when Irene Fornaciari opens the concerts of great Italian music artists. Among these also Niccolò Fabi.

In 2010 he participates again in the Festival together with the Nomadi with The world is cryingand in 2011 he made a hat-trick in Sanremo in duets with Davide Van De Sfrooswith the song Yanez.

“In 2009, being young people, I experienced it with much more anxiety than this year,” he explained in 2010. “This time I was much more awareso I lived it with greater serenity, it was nice. I enjoyed it, though that stage is always difficult“.

The Great Mystery by Irene Fornaciari

In 2012 he returned to Sanremo with Great Mystery – song that tells of some of his moments of difficulty – written by his friend Van De Sfroos “After I confided in him that the panic attacks were limiting my life. They are truly “bastards”, and those who suffer from them know it ». The song speaks precisely of «this energy that one has inside and cannot release, which instead of exploding implodes“.

On that occasion “I didn’t want to pass as a victim; besides I was suffering from it and I didn’t feel like having to give explanations. I like to give positive energy: Claiming that panic attacks were my problem seemed wrong to me. Only later did I understand that many people suffer from it and I could have been of help to them“.

Irene Fornaciari and the piece Blue

In 2016 he returned to the Ariston in the “Champions” section with the song Bluefocused on immigration theme. It ranks in 16th place. The song «deals with a profound theme of the present day. From the first listening it was one not indifferent emotional blow which prompted me to want to play her at the Festival, which represents the mirror of Italian society ».

For this reason «I thought that that stage was right to be able to reflect on the issue of immigration: I think it is inhumane to keep looking at certain strong images, tragedies, certain scenes. I try to send a message and get to touch the sensitivity of the listener ».

Fragility for the artist

Irene Fornaciari is not afraid to show herself sensitive, fragile. “When I accepted the fact that I have a problem (…) it was fundamental to open up to those around me, family, friends. If I can give you one piece of advice, it is just that: don’t be afraid to show yourselves fragile“, has explained.

She, once she was «desperate, I confided in dad, who he was the first to name those ailments that I was struggling to understand. He himself suffered from it. Talking about it with him, being understood, helped me to reduce the problem“.

Later «I also resorted to professionals and the comparison with people with the same problem was essential to be able to overcome them“.

The role of music

There was also there to help her overcome the difficult moments music, which “saved me. Writing or interpreting songs is equivalent to do psychoanalysis. A way to dig inside and face your ghosts. Everyone has the of him ».

The stage “puts me at ease, frees me. It may happen that, as soon as I get up, the agitation takes me. But a few notes are enough and the voice becomes my cloak to protect me from fears. I am free to be myself and I give myself freely to my audience ».

Irene Fornaciari and social media

To make everything more difficult, however, there are social media, which “they have accustomed us to virtual reality that if on the one hand it brings us closer, in reality it distances us. In the illusion of being in touch, we are even more alone and invisible“.

She explains that she belongs “to a generation that, having no cell phones, he went out hoping to find himself. Being together and sharing tested us, but it helped us grow. The spasmodic search for perfection makes us retouch any image and, in fact, erase our real identity“.

The relationship with the public

To give her joy, however, there is her audience. “I like to talk to my audience spontaneously, without filters, ”he explained. Often «I publish photographs taken from the scrapbook where they are far from perfect! Today I am serene and I can also manage any attacks that have bothered me a lot in the past ».

Some time ago, Irene Fornaciari received rather heavy comments about her hypothetical engagement with Massimo Boldi. But the case turned out to be just a problem of homonymy that “has unleashed a fuss on the web, arousing curiosity and unfortunately even some gratuitous nastiness which contributed to the spread of false news ».

So, on his profile, «I decided to respond by publishing one photograph together with my partner. It’s the end of the games ». Because in the end, «thelove is the only true antidote to poison“.
