Last date, this evening Saturday 23 December, at the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome, of the VENDITTI & DE GREGORI tour.
The tour, in just over a year and a half, sold over 400,000 tickets for 86 dates throughout Italy, confirming an indelible connection between the artists and their audiences.
ANTONELLO VENDITTI and FRANCESCO DE GREGORI went on stage together, opening each concert with “Bomba o non bomba”, “La leva footballistica della Classe ’68” and “Modena”, to then travel through their great classics, performing solo or coming together in duet: all songs written in history that have vibrated with new life, thrown rightfully into today’s scene.
Every evening they united, in addition to their voices, also the musicians with whom they have collaborated for years, giving over two hours of concert with more than 25 songs rooted in the collective memory and sung at the top of their lungs by the audience.
Rome is the godmother who opens and closes the circle: opened over 50 years ago, when the threads of their destinies intertwined for the album “Theorius Campus” (1972), reopened in a new and fascinating plot on 18 June 2022 with the first epic date of the VENDITTI & DE GREGORI tour at the Olympic Stadium, continued in the most prestigious theaters and amphitheatres, ready to end on Saturday, forever knotted in an immortal plot of exciting memories and shared melodies.
