Crowning their long tour together that began on 18 June 2022 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Venditti & De Gregori will be performing in Italian palasport venues from November, for a Grand Finale that comes after more than a year of concerts that have united thousands of fans, recording a sell-out with more than 250,000 tickets sold.
A common and different story, that of the two artists, both capable of making their mark on Italian songwriting and music. Two different personalities, but similar. Two artistic statures, each with their own poetics. Venditti & De Gregori began collaborating in their early twenties during a trip to Hungary and began writing their first songs together, leading to their joint recording debut with 'Theorius Campus' (1972), where Antonello recorded 'Roma Capoccia', an immediate great success, and Francesco 'Signora Aquilone'. A record that sanctioned for both of them the beginning of their artistic journey. After their debut, however, their careers diverged until this memorable tour that has seen them travel the whole of Italy together and will now end in the palasport, the last opportunity to see the two artists who have written the soundtrack of entire generations on the same stage.
The tour, which stops in Rimini on 15 December, sees the two artists perform with a single band that creates an extraordinary sound, bringing together musicians who have been collaborating separately with the two artists for years: Alessandro Canini (drums), Danilo Cherni (keyboards), Carlo Gaudiello (piano), Primiano Di Biase (hammond), Fabio Pignatelli (bass), Amedeo Bianchi (sax), Paolo Giovenchi (guitars), Alessandro Valle (pedal steel guitar and mandolin). Also on stage are Roberta Palmigiani on violin and choristers Laura Ugolini and Laura Marafioti.
Musical coordination is by Guido Guglielminetti and Alessandro Canini.
Tickets available in advance from 4 p.m. on Monday 21 August, in the usual circuits.
