And so they lost heaven and with it the right to eternity, condemned to live only one life. Immortal municipalities”.
Achille Lauro dreams big at the Olimpico in Rome, in front of 60 thousand people with They filled the stadium for the triumphant start of the tour Immortal municipalities. An incredible concert, with Lulu on stage Antonello Vendittianother immense symbol of Rome, it has been for the “kids” since the 70s and 80s and is today Achilles for the “unconscious young people” of 2000 (grouping in one fell swoop Gen. Alfa, Zeta and Millennials). For the inconsistency, the testimonial, the great love for music, his own and the confidence in the future, the ability to do it and to make it possible to achieve this objective. As happened to Lauro, who grew up in public housing, who at 14 years old slept among the street kids, who experienced the real, tiring, humiliating givetta (“My first concert? Nobody let me play, I rented the venue, paid the guests and got myself in the lineup”), but who he never message to believe in his project. In his dream, judged by those around him to be impossible and unattainable.
Laureltoday a melancholic and refined dandy, he remains at the same time a boy of the people, who has never lost his connection and contact with common people, and is keen on this. “I grew up among the people, I am the people”. And those people, his fans, feel it, they breathe it in his songs, in his lyrics, which speak of unconscious young people who are drowning, shipwrecked, who die without requited love (“If you don’t love me I die young”), who say to themselves: “Never a life like yours. Venditti’s Rome but also a lot Vasco 80s (“It’s just us, generations of distraught, with no more saints or heroes), all those songwriters who sang to young people and for young people, praising love and freedom.
“Free people” sang Vasco and today Lauro writes and sings: “Boys on the streets dying to feel free, only freer”. This is why the young people of today and those of yesterday, who grew up with Vasco and Venditti, go to his concerts. Because Lauro is the bridge between the present and the never forgotten past, he is able to speak to everyone with his music – in a simple and direct way.
Lauro tore up the Olimpico and announced that the date at the 2027 Olimpico had already been sold out. The therefore reckless young people expelled from Eden have become ordinary immortals, who don’t mind dying just to feel real emotions: because to enjoy the impact they don’t care about the end.
