With Sicily in our hearts and against all forms of violence, Cristiano Malgioglio, Italian singer-songwriter and television personality, performed on the stage in Piazza San Rocco in San Pier Nicetoin front of a passionate audience. “I’m very happy to be here in Sicily, it’s always a great feeling – said the artist -. In the past few weeks I’ve been to Istanbul and Athens. I’m very tired, but I certainly couldn’t give up my land, which is my blood”. Malgioglio recalled that he was born in Ramacca, near Catania. Last June his new song “Fernando” was released, which the singer-songwriter dedicated to the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, whom he described as “a wonderful person”. From the stage, he paid homage to all women, but in particular to the actress Monica Guerritore, who will soon be on television with a new series. “I am against any form of violence against women – Cristiano Malgioglio has repeatedly reiterated -. We must treat women as if they were rose petals. So men, never raise your voice, never raise your hands”. And from here, the song “La Vie en rose”. The list of artists for whom he composed famous and successful songs could not be missing, such as Adriano Celentano, Califano, Ornella Vanoni, Patty Pravo, Iva Zanicchi, Raffaella Carrà. Among these “Gelato al cioccolato”, included in the evening’s lineup. “I belong to that category of people, as I hope many of you do, who are against any form of homophobia, bullying and anything that hurts a lot – added Malgioglio -. I am against any type of discrimination, because by nature I have always been a free person. I made many sacrifices at the beginning of my career, but up until today I have tried to always be current – she continued from the stage -. My mother did not want me to do this job, she preferred that I get married and have children. I have done neither one nor the other, but I have had great loves. So I want to say to many young people: when you see a boy with another boy holding hands, do not laugh, the same goes for two women, because love is universal and if there is no love, life is over and nothing exists anymore. There have been many victims to date because of bullying”. And then, the tribute to the immense Mina. “This great woman came into my life by pure chance and she was in a moment of maximum splendor – he said -. When I saw her I asked to meet her, she accepted and I made her listen to my songs. I wrote “L’importante è finito” for her. On the notes of “Ancora, ancora, ancora”, Malgioglio once again involved the audience with great intensity, as well as with the Sicilian song known throughout the world “Zooma Zooma Baccalà” and with the songs “Mi sono innamorato di tuo marito”, “Danzando Danzando” and “Dolceamaro”. Cristiano Malgioglio’s show was organized by the “Comitato feste di San Pier Niceto in onore di San Rocco”, which the artist finally thanked for the hospitality, empathy and energy given during the evening together with the very large audience.
