Concert Review Venditti-De Gregori

Only at the moment of entering the main entrance of the stadium were we informed by the staff that we had to "make the detour," meaning a 2 km walk with the concert about to start, amidst traffic and a crowd pressing in.

Fans in their 40s and 50s, die-hard De Gregori enthusiasts, were screaming piercing high notes specifically to puncture your eardrums.

Otherwise, the atmosphere was nice, especially when the fans in the stands spontaneously launched into chants for their team. De Gregori's setlist was coherent and more than sufficient, while Venditti started with "Modena" and ended with "In questo mondo di ladri" and "Che fantastica storia è la vita." The duets were charming, particularly "Dolce signora che bruci." On the other hand, the performances in general felt hasty and lacking balance, with about 3 hours of non-stop music; indeed, even a tribute to Dalla with "Canzone" came off as forced and bordering on opportunism.
