“I am more excited now that when I got on stage in Sanremo. Thanks, thanks, thanks and thanks. It was incredible everything, especially the affection I received and This sense of belonging that has nothing to do with parochialism But it is a healthy desire for revenge. And I’m happy to have been through this thing, thank you very much ».
This time let’s start from the end. And we report The greeting with which a visibly excited Dario Brunori took leave of the crowds of fans who rushed to the Tau amphitheater of the University of Calabria (inside and outside), yesterday morning.
But let’s go back to the news. And let’s start from the beginning. From the multitude of people who await Bruori’s arrival for the meeting with the public and the press, organized after his Sanremo experience and before the start of the 2025 tour. The murmur raises the tones. It is the obvious signal that announces the arrival of the Cosenza singer -songwriter. Usual leather sweater, inevitable glad and a slimming appearance: “Six months of diet – he will embroider him shortly after, nicely tronfius – Italy has known me thin, incredible … after years of belly too this is a great thing!”. A joke among many. To remind everyone that, beyond the spotlight, the singer -songwriter of the next door remains, the one who knows how to tear smiles with boutade and wisdom without frills.
The climate of the amphitheater is full of an intimate and participatory atmosphere, far from the usual television ceremonies. The public welcomes Brunori with spontaneous applause, as if to confirm that “success is not measured only in numbers”, as he himself ironically during the meeting. “Calabria has rediscovered, or perhaps confirmed, the love I have for her” – he declaresletting that genuine affection transpire that has always characterized the personal relationship with his land.
The story begins, Sanremo’s experience. He underlines how third place – together with the prize for the best text and in the first place in the ranking drawn up by the Radio and the Ariston press room – represented an unexpected triumph. “I wanted first, second, third, everyone – but then, in the end, I’m happy because my song brought his message.” Gigionggia, arousing laughter and applause. His warm and vibrant voice resonates within the walls of the amphitheater, and the meeting turns into a sort of small theatrical show.
Brunori leaves little room for conventional rhetoric. With a frank and disenchanted tone, He admits that he has faced Sanremo with a “more lightened” soul Aware of the risk of being overwhelmed by the frenzy of the large stage. “I was not sure that my tone could be welcomed in a context where the bright images are rewarded” – confesses, bringing out his concern for a media polarized reality. Still, the result surprised everyone: his songwriting proposal, authentic and not glossy, was rewarded not only by criticism but also by the public, which recognized him as the bearer of a different voice, more sincere and reflective.
And then there is that sense of family that never fails To highlight and that always remaining himself: «Another thing that made me happy was to live this adventure with the whole family, the real and the extended one of the musicians who accompanied me, by Stefano Amato and Mirko Onofrio, who have Directly, who are also their children of Calabria, to the boys of the band who were with me on Friday, Massimo Palermo, Dario Della Rossa and Simona Marrazzo. And then Riccardo Sinigallia, Antonio Dimartino. It was truly a celebration and I am happy to have come out exactly as I have always been. And that the context has not affected my way of being, indeed perhaps even amplified it ».
On the sidelines of the Festivaliere evenings, the hint of the controversy that sparked a highly accepted debate on social media in the last glimpse of the week could not be missing. The “halved” participation in Sunday in, where Mara Venier did not remain very much to talk to Bruori. “I think it was a mix of things there – he declares Beetly – because there was a great haste. He blew up a little behind the scenes and I think they decided to free myself first for this too. After all, I’m not a television personnel. I don’t have many television holds. And they make audience with stories that I don’t have. Only this was the cause of the lack of interview, I don’t think there was a bad intention ». “I am not interested in television, in popularity tout court” – he underlines, suggesting that, despite the success, his real interest has always been to tell life, stories, emotions in a genuine way and, why not, a A little rebellious.
So, we came to talk about the Imminent tour in iconic stages such as the Circus Maximus of Rome, the Arena of Verona and, with a touch of all Calabrian intimacy, the Teatro dei Ruderi di Cirella. “The tour is not only a series of dates, but a path of life in which each city becomes a chapter of a constantly evolving story” – says with that typical laugh that, according to many, makes each of its performance a unique experience. A particularly exciting moment was the final greeting, during which Bruori improvised a performance outside the amphitheater. To satisfy all the public – a delirium of students – who remained out of place. With microphone and guitar in hand, he sang “The tree of the walnuts”, “The truth” and “Guard 82”.
In an era in which success is often measured in votes and numbers, yesterday, Dario Brunori reminded everyone that the true value of an artist lies in the ability to convey emotions and make it felt, even for a short moment, that The world can be a more authentic and less superficial place. Thus, while the singer -songwriter prepares for the tour, he embraced the city and printing, with his refined irony, his indomitable spirit, and the ease with which, also this time, he managed to transform a press conference into a memorable event.
