TAmong the other regulars, who impressed you the most?
“Out of love, I speak of Alessandro Preziosi, who was close to my father from childhood; it is no coincidence that when he comes to a tavern, he sings, and he does not do it anywhere else.”
By now, he’s used to VIPs.
“Being elected is a privilege; I remember last year’s Puff Daddy curtain with pleasure. He did not retire, but took the microphone and sang: I will miss youtouching dedication to our deceased friend Notorious BIG. He then accompanied us with a tambourine while we played. ‘Oh sweaty ‘namurato’. But emotions are not connected with the celebrity of the moment, what excites is the participation of everyone!
Thomas from Moneskin also came this week: how did you attract him?
“We try to be unobtrusive, they do what they want; there are no photographers here, if not our officer, then no pressure … He was a guest for two evenings in a row and, despite the encouragement of the public, he preferred not to speak for the first time. However, the second time I asked the manager if I could play their song: shut up and okay, and in the end, with a guitar in his hands, he also improvised. It can be seen that he felt at ease, it can be seen that he is a simple guy. On the same evening also Chris Tucker, another great performer…”.
But who is more modest – Italian or international stars?
“It depends mainly on international ones. Perhaps because for them singing is the same profession as any other, and they allow themselves to do it without any problems.
Who let her down?
“No one, I’m here to have fun, and performing is a spontaneous choice. To give an example: Zucchero was a guest for three consecutive nights, the first two he looked like a bear, the third he really went wild. Mengoni also came many times as a spectator. You don’t have to go on stage.”
