«Dear maestro Riccardo Muti, I write to you in a simple and humble way from the heart, from the mind, in short from the soul. She and I have two friends in common. They both introduced us, one twenty years ago and he is no longer here, Carmelo Bene, a man of great cultural importance, capable of true art, both creator and thinker, an unrepeatable man, so precious and different, and courageous, and yet also so vilified , misunderstood, that it hurts to realize how thankless his time was for not having grasped its weight, not having been able to listen to that universe of ideas, not having transmitted it to the public, when his genius could not only have created intense shows and excite the public, but educate the country, investing it with a practical ability to exercise open-mindedness, training in the elasticity of the mind."
Thus begins Morgan's open letter to Riccardo Muti, the pride of Italian music throughout the world, to propose the sharing of a bold and visionary project: the artistic direction of the 2025 Sanremo Festival.
The presence of the great world-famous wand, which could be considered the artistic heritage of humanity, is a revolutionary idea that the brilliant composer, songwriter and former judge of "X Factor", recently on Rai with the highly successful program "Stramorgan ” with Pino Strabioli, launched “Sgarbistan” in the Whatsapp chat, a collective of thousands of artists and intellectuals co-opted by Vittorio Sgarbi in a large container of virtual freedom.
«Don't be scared, please don't be weirded out. If, however, he has had a pleasant reaction and is open to these hypotheses - Morgan continues, inviting him to also contact the famous art critic linked to both of them by a strong feeling of friendship - he can also stop reading, make a phone call to our mutual friend , of whom I speak a few lines below, telling you that he too would be in the game."
In the sights of Morgan, who in the letter carries out a long reflection on the crisis of culture and quality, «the drift of song in pop music, the vulgarization of commerce by television and in particular by the Sanremo Festival. Together with the global fear generated by the cancel culture, which the media and social networks have irresponsibly administered in recent years. It was a paralyzing effect - he explains - a soporific effect, which anesthetized Italians, including artists."
