Amalfitano was born between Rome and Cortina D’Ampezzo and is a singer-songwriter with a complex and composite soul, whose project tells stories full of poetry, irony and experimentation. With his latest album, TIENIMI LA MANO, DIVA! explores the demonic side of beauty and love, dedicated to the peak of one’s twenties, the envy of one’s thirties, the nausea of one’s forties.
Influenced by sounds ranging from classic Italian singer-songwriting to the Anglo-American rock of the 70s, and the alternative rock of the 80s/90s, his latest album moves away from any reference point that would make us feel at home, safe, and pushes us into a universe of crazy loves, mythological figures, devils upon devils: half men and half comets.
Opening act by Vittoria Sciacca, born in Catania in 2003, she is a musician who currently sings, plays, writes and lives in Milan, where she takes her songwriting project on the road: fresh and direct writing, a pop with intimate and sincere nuances. With guitar always in hand, she tries to convey the beauty of small things and invites listeners to close their eyes and open their hearts.
Fuori Salotto is an idea that tends to create ideal conditions for listening to contemporary song. Initiated as a house concert format for 55 people in Milan in a flat in Via Tortona, it has since developed into a travelling review that takes this philosophy of listening in a convivial atmosphere to the main Italian cities and unconventional spaces. An experience where audience and performers speak the same language and find themselves one step away from the songs. In a difficult historical moment for singer-songwriting, Fuori Salotto – the itinerant song salon – tries to make itself at home everywhere. The songs are performed in an intimate and precious way: guitar, voice and a glass of wine. The aim is to create moments of emotional and cultural value, stopping the hubbub of everyday life and trying to perceive the well-being that comes from listening to an artist you love so closely.
