Elio - La Rivalutazione della Tristezza

Umbria Green Festival is launching a new format, about which, for now, we can only say

that Elio will open the show with his new show, an exclusive for Umbria:

ELIO in THE REVALUATION OF SADNESS with ALBERTO TAFURI on piano

"Don't make the mistake of denigrating sadness!" Elio e le Storie Tese

Elio, accompanied by maestro Alberto Tafuri on piano, embarks on a musical journey to rediscover sadness, a feeling that has permeated the history of art and every form of human expression—from Catullus to Virginia Woolf, from Munch to Donald Duck—yet today is often feared and repressed. The aim is to restore sadness's nobility and necessity through the words and music of some of the great artists of the Italian and international musical tradition.

Sadness isn't a bad thing, after all, but like grass peas and saffron, it should be taken in small doses, and if you overdo it, you need an antidote.

That's why the show also features appropriately interspersed with cheerful songs.
