med at research and especially at what is changing international and they continue to change. I like this moment, there are lots of good songs if you look for them. And if you let yourself be inspired by the possible worlds, there are so many. In“ Un altro modo”, the sentence“ la musica ci salverà”(“ music will save us”) is often repeated. What it saved you from? From everything, always. And keep doing it. It keeps me away.“ Quando stiamo bene” is the new single, which you sing along with Elodie in“ a nonsmoking room”. Always smoke, and ashtray in the hotel rooms, we speak in the first track of the record,“ Quello che si sente”. A recurring theme and... a bit strange, if you think about it, since the cigarette is no longer so transgressive. Smoking is a shitty habit. I saw no transgression. Among the goals achieved during your career, there is also a Tenco Plate for“ Come il suono dei passi sulla neve”. A prize of great prestige, but that still can not reach the general public. What value did this recognition have for you? On the contrary, the Tenco may not now lead to the general public but it did in the past, it had an important role for the music in its moment. For me it was important and gratifying and a great pleasure to have shared it with Afterhours. You presented a song to participate in Sanremo this year, but your name was not among the singers in the competition. What do you think about the choices of the artistic director? That he had to get me. But that he would have had its good reasons. Happy with a couple of names like Lo Stato Sociale or my friend Diodato for example, and less with others who do not move anything either on the market or in my emotional needings.
