Time.news – Apotheosis at the Circus Maximus for Marco Mengoni, the singer from Ronciglione who closed a triumphal tour in Rome with a real party. There were 60,000 people who came from all over Italy to applaud him, including many loyal followers who also followed him in other stages. Fans flocked from north to south of Italy but also from neighboring European countries such as Croatia, Austria, Germany.
Since the early hours of the morning, the Circus Maximus has been stormed by supporters who had already approached the area since the night, sleeping on the sidewalk. At approximately 21 on Friday, many young people, especially girls, they stood in front of the barriers to take pictures while the stage was being set up. And the following afternoon, many stood in wait to see the singer arrive at rehearsals.
Mengoni, one of the most beautiful voices of the current Italian music scene, celebrated the end of the tour with many greeting guests on stage with whom he sang some of his songs: Samuel Bersani (Once again), Bresh (Ask me how I am) Elodie (Crazy Music), Gazelles (As little as possible) e Aries with whom he sang “Due Nuvole”. All applauded by the public who gave the singer one sold out after another.
The concert finished at 11.30 pm and immediately afterwards off to the afterparty with a DJ set until midnight with Mengoni himself on stage dancing with the band and the staff. And in the autumn, this boy who uses his voice as if it were a musical instrument will bring his music and repertoire to Europe: Barcelona, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Vienna, Zurich and Munich.
The show recounted the last two years of extraordinary successes and enclosed over 13 years of career, from the beginning to the publication of the multi-platinum trilogy Materia. The event-party in Rome arrives just a few days after its conclusion, last Saturday with the live show at the San Siro Stadium in Milan “Marco Nelle Stadi 2023”, the first completely sold out stadium tour in the most important cities of Italy.
Guests and songs
The show at the Circus Maximus was therefore thought of as a huge party with music and performances starting in the afternoon: already from 4.30 pm the venue was animated with the alternation of different DJ sets and continued after the concert with the gigantic “afterparty” with Chloé Caillet, eclectic DJ, producer and multi-instrumentalist, one of the leading names in international night life.
To accompany Mengoni during the day, in addition to the artists mentioned, also friends who have been part of the Materia project including some of the producers, such as Dardust, Crookers, Estremo and Whitemary. Marco’s relationship with Samuele Bersani is very close and combines esteem with a long and sincere friendship and he saw them together in the creation of “Ancora una volta”, an intense and poetic piece: “a gift” as Mengoni defined it, where their voices blend perfectly, creating a suspended space in which to meet.
The Genoese rapper Bresh, an artist considered by Marco “one of the most interesting pens on the contemporary urban scene”, also took to the stage of the Circus Maximus for “Ask me how I am”. Elodie with “Pazza music” (gold disc certified), made the audience dance with Marco to the tune of this summer single currently in rotation, which sees the two friends together for the first time and two of the most loved artists of the Italian pop music scene.
With Gazzelle, on the other hand, there is a solid long-standing friendship, born at the time of the collaboration on “Calci e pugni”, and a relationship of personal and professional esteem, which led Marco to want Flavio also within the project Subject with “As little as possible”.
Mengoni at the Circus Maximus was a show that celebrated his career and, for this reason, hits from the past such as Credimi Ancora alternated with others from the present such as Mi Fidero’. Due Vite, the winner of this year’s Sanremo Music Festival and the song with which Marco represented Italy at Eurovision, was greeted with standing ovations.
Laser show, streamers and confetti, special effects, for a scenographic impact that allowed the singer to be really “close” to his audience. Marco Mengoni has 8 studio albums, 75 platinum records, over 2 billion total audio/video streams and 9 live tours. The last two years, and 2023 in particular, have been marked by many milestones starting with the publication of Materia (Terra) in December 2021, continued with the first shows in the Milan and Rome stadiums last summer and a series of sold-out arenas out in the fall, simultaneously with the release of the album Materia (Leather).
In addition to having won the 73rd edition of the Sanremo Music Festival with the song “Due Vite” and finishing fourth in the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, Marco Mengoni is also the winner of the Silver Ribbon for best original song with “Caro amore” distant”, unreleased version of a song by Sergio Endrigo and part of the soundtrack of the film “Il Colibri'” by Francesca Archibugi.
