There are artists that are difficult to tell, because they are so well known, of which almost everything is already known. Impossible to say anything new. Tiziano Ferro is one of those. Last night at the Forte Arena in Santa Margherita di Pula, he staged an exciting show. Of those that wherever you look, you see that everyone around you is moved. sad songs? Not really, and not only that, but having a twenty-two year career behind it, it's unlikely that one of his songs hasn't been part of our lives, and doesn't remind us of something.
Twenty million records sold worldwide, an international audience, especially Hispanics. An overwhelming success that knows no crisis. A singer-songwriter with a heart, one of those who use their hearts not only to write, but also to narrate themselves, to excite with their own experiences.
A difficult life, from overweight, to bulimia, to coming out, to marriage with her partner, up to the birth of her two children. A difficult experience, mixed with worldwide success, which could make everything difficult, but not for him, who has turned his weakness into a strength.
Tiziano Ferro has always put himself on the line, you have never hidden anything, and for this reason he is so universally loved.
Last night, the audience cheered him, and he gave his all to please them.
A simple but impetuous show. A meager stage, without wings and only lights, white and rainbow - which scream a message of universal love that needs no words - because when you're really good, these become just contours. It only takes him to fill the stage.
A clean boy, with a clean face, that mothers like. Of those who give security.
He talks and jokes with the public, from the eighteen year old here to celebrate his birthday with his idol "remember, be good!", to the couple who are celebrating their fifty-two years of marriage today, "this song is for you, we need examples like yours! ”.
All his hits in two hours of concert. A band, almost an orchestra, for the number of instruments played, of six elements. One last date to remember.
As well as his memory of his beloved Raffaella Carrà. A clip that remembers her and anticipates "And Raffaella sings". Your friend Raffaella. Our friend Raffaella. A woman before a star, just like him. Perhaps for this reason he has always bet on him since the beginning of his career. For their humanity. A tangible humanity, like their talent.
During his third change, another clip with his children, and he dedicates it to them in the "First Father's Day", a song that not only moved the audience but also himself. "I finally know the spirit of self-denial of being a parent, you live for them and you make sacrifices".
In the lineup, difficult to choose as he said, all his greatest hits: Pardon, Stop forgetting, I'll take a photo of you, It's dark outside, I can't explain it... It's almost useless to list them all, because they're all hits.
Audience in raptures, the last rows all standing, the parterre pretending to be sedately seated, went wild singing every single verse. In the finale all feet, all towards the stage, to sing with him.
What more can you ask from a singer? It excites and excites. An epic concert. A monster of skill. A born showman, and it's a shame it's been six years since his last tour. If it took so much, to give so much love and beauty, we are ready to wait again for the next one. «I will do everything to return to Sardinia, I promise you!». Thanks Tiziano, Sardinia loves you and confirmed it yesterday.
