Overview
- The new single Monghidoro, released Friday and written by Jovanotti, will open the concerts on Morandi’s upcoming tour.
- The C’era un ragazzo – Gianni Morandi Story tour opens April 15 in Conegliano and runs through major Italian arenas, with press reports noting many sold-out dates.
- Jovanotti is expected as a guest at the debut in Conegliano, and Morandi’s son, rapper Tredici Pietro, is slated for the Forum di Milano date.
- Morandi apologized in a letter to the mayor of Monghidoro after the song’s lyrics misplaced his hometown north of Bologna instead of south.
- He says he will add brief onstage reflections on world affairs, criticizing Trump and Putin and lamenting a fragmented Europe, linking today’s tensions to the pacifist legacy of C’era un ragazzo.
