Thousands of spectators are set in motion by De Gregori in Caserta, encouraged to dance the waltz.
In the heart of Italy, on the 15th of September, a remarkable concert took place. The event was held at a grand black stage in the Reggia Vanvitelliana park, with the stunning Reggia di Caserta serving as a breathtaking backdrop.
The concert was part of the 'Un'estate da Belvedere' program and featured the talented Francesco De Gregori, who captivated the audience with his enchanting performance. De Gregori, dressed casually in a green shirt, a cap with a visor, sunglasses, and sporting a charismatic stage presence, did not leave the stage throughout the concert.
The evening began with De Gregori performing a series of songs, including 'Via della povertà' and 'Cercando un altro Egitto'. The audience listened attentively, eagerly anticipating what was to come. The atmosphere heated up when he started performing 'Rimmel', released in 1975, which marked the 50th anniversary of its release.
As the concert progressed, the band, consisting of Guido Guglielminetti, Carlo Gaudiello, Primiano Di Biase, Paolo Giovenchi, Alessandro Valle, Simone Talone, Francesca La Colla, and Cristina Greco, delivered a series of captivating performances. The audience began to hum during 'Atlantide' and applauded during 'Caldo e scuro', 'Caterina', and 'Mannaggia alla musica'.
Enzo Avitabile made a special appearance, dueting with De Gregori in some of his classics and rearranging them with his wind instruments. Avitabile added his own verses inspired by the search for peace and brotherhood against the wars in the world, moving the Reggia audience even more.
The concert's closing performance was a spectacle. De Gregori concluded the concert with a waltz to the tunes of 'Buonanotte Fiorellino', first in the classic version and then in a rock one. The audience joined in, creating a party-like atmosphere that made the concert a great success.
Over 5,000 spectators attended the concert, which was held in front of the Reggia di Caserta, making it an unforgettable evening for all who were present. The concert was a testament to De Gregori's enduring talent and the power of music to bring people together.
