Nicolò Carnesi, a Sicilian singer-songwriter born in 1987, made his debut with ‘Gli eroi non uscono il sabato’ (Heroes don’t go out on Saturdays) and stands out for a style that mixes songwriting, pop and experimentation. He published successful albums including ‘Ho una galassia nell’armadio’ and ‘Bellissima noia’, signing collaborations with artists such as Brunori SAS, Dimartino and Dente. With the single ‘Motel San Pietro’ he evolved towards the deconstruction of the song format, going as far as to take his music abroad and participating in the Sanremo Festival as guitarist for Colapesce and Dimartino, continuing with a summer tour.

Fuori Salotto is a project 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.
