«C’è Domenica In», the unreleased musical tribute signed by the Calabrian author and composer Maurizio Scicchitano to pay homage to the historic Rai 1 talk show, is receiving a warm and enthusiastic welcome. «Within just a few hours of its presentation – the author states -, the song has already recorded an immediate and notable appreciation from the people of the web, confirming the artist’s ability to touch the chords of collective memory and true feeling. The work was born as a pure tribute, disinterested and without commercial purposes, aimed at retracing half a century of Italian customs, art and television. Through a fresh, cheerful and overwhelming rhythm, the song pays homage to the hosting giants who made the program famous: from the legendary founder Corrado Mantoni to Mino Damato, passing through Pippo Baudo, up to the undisputed “lady of Sunday”, Mara Venier”.
«This piece was born as a gift made solely out of love» declared Maurizio Scicchitano, already known for having been the creator and promoter of various musical initiatives which over time have received considerable acclaim and enthusiasm also at an international level, including «Loving», the song given to the English royals William and Kate on the occasion of their wedding, which was followed by «Beautiful Child», «A Gift For You» and «With All My Heart», as well as the first song in the world officially dedicated to the figure of Pope Francis, «How You Can», engraved by Massimo Ranieri. «Seeing that the public immediately grasped the light-heartedness and profound respect that animate the song – he concluded – is a source of great satisfaction. The testimonials on social networks, thousands and thousands of views in just a few hours on TikTok, testify to the effectiveness of something that puts nostalgia aside to leave room for celebration and good humor.”
