Edoardo Bennato is one of the masters of rock Italian. His music, with its light-hearted and ironic tones, enriches the Italian musical heritage produced in the last forty years. The stage of the Beauty Festival, therefore, will be filled with that positive and overwhelming energy that only the musician's masterpieces can unleash.
A rocker festival
On the occasion of the Italian rocker festival he will propose all his greatest hits. Forty years have passed since the release of the album They are just songs, however, the freshness of those light and irreverent pieces has not stopped enchanting the public. The lineup scheduled for the evening at the Verona Arena will be enriched by most of the pieces from that album. They are just songs was released in 1980 and was inspired by the Peter Pan story of the Scottish writer James Matthew Barrie. The theme that Bennato will bring to the festival stage the next September 12 will focus on the beauty of rock.
The fruition of the great event will have particular characteristics. For the occasion, in fact, the Arena will wear the role of an agora with a modern character. The stalls will be free and completely covered with sand. The singer will perform in the center and the audience will arrange themselves around him in a circle. An artist of his caliber could not have asked for more for his return to live performance.
The manifestation and the beauty
Like a precious stone in a jewel, the concert will be included in the program of the Beauty festival. The event hosting the Bennato concert was organized within the Arena Agorà project. Inspired by Dante, Mozart and Shakespeare, the event this year will have the title "Eros and Beauty". The event will be spread over a handful of days from 11 to 19 September 2020. The idea is to investigate the multiple meanings of beauty and how it is able to decline eros. The artistic direction of the festival is placed in the hands of Alcide Marchioro and Gianmarco Mazzi.
The project foresees the setting up of a large cultural container in which the reflections and the shows proposed by the guests converge. Bennato's concert is part of this great project that will transform the Verona Arena into the modern agora that we have just described. The organizers intended to place eros at the center of the discussions due to its clear opposition to the concept of fear.
