With them also Fabiana Sirigu and Roberta Palmigiani on violin and the choristers Laura Ugolini and Laura Marafioti.

THE TOUR

A common and different story, that of VENDITTI & DE GREGORI, both capable of making their mark on songwriting and Italian music. After their debut with the album “Theorius Campus” (1972), their careers split up until the tour that saw them travel all over Italy together and which will now end in the sports halls, the last chance to see on the same stage the two artists who wrote the soundtrack for entire generations.

Below are the last dates of the VENDITTI & DE GREGORI tour (organized and produced by Friends & Partners):

15 December – Stadium – RIMINI
19 December – Nelson Mandela Forum – FLORENCE
23 December – Palazzo Dello Sport – ROME
