“For the post-Sanremo Festival I had some great programs: first the tour, then the idea of retreating into the wilderness, as if in hibernation, to reflect on life”. And instead Covid has arrived, because Enrico Nigiotti, singer-songwriter from Livorno, refers to the Sanremo of 2020, the one in which he brought the song “Kiss me now”. Despite the lockdown, at least half of that program achieved it: in September he moved with his girlfriend and two dogs (taken from the kennel in north Florence) to the Island of Capraia and started talking to the moon. No, he’s not crazy. Nor did he become a werewolf. He wrote a new song, the single for an upcoming album: “Notti di luna”. Song that comes out on April 23 on digital platforms, where it dialogues – in the literal sense of the term – with the terrestrial satellite. He asks her the meaning of life and she … “She replied to go to bed early – he jokes, but not too much – so that I could get up before dawn and greet her before she disappeared in the morning and then embark with the fishermen of Capraia at 5 in the morning and learn to fish ». The melody itself recalls the rocking of a boat that goes towards the horizon, almost aimlessly. And it is by living this way that Enrico Nigiotti made a discovery. “From Capraia the moon seems closer, so much so that if you throw a stone at it, you think you won’t want to peck it in full.

In this new life, with the fishermen watching the sky and talking about existence, the thoughts started by themselves, staring at the moon. IS I discovered that Covid led me to rethink everything with less haste, I learned to eat without voracity, to drink wine while sipping it instead of swallowing it all in one gulp ». After the summer he will leave for the tour of the theaters of his latest album “Nigio”, which saw the light just when the pandemic arrived. And for this he did not complete his live path.
