“His words and his music have remained in the hearts of many Genoese people and beyond. 25 years after the death of Fabrizio De André, Liguria remembers one of the greatest and most beloved singer-songwriters of our country. And at the beginning of the summer it will celebrate his talent with a great concert in Genoa”. Thus the president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti, on the day in which we remember the passing of the unforgettable Ligurian singer-songwriter, “poet of the last”, as he was often defined. The event announced by the governor “will be an international showcase, but above all a dutiful homage to the history of De André and his musical legacy, which continues to fascinate new generations of singer-songwriters”.
Even the Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano wanted to remember the artist in a tweet “the songs of Fabrizio De André, who passed away on January 11th 25 years ago, are part of our identity. Through his music, the Genoese artist has told with extraordinary sensitivity the stories of those on the margins, capturing their humanity”.
