Invincible is one who cannot be defeated.

Someone who keeps starting over, battered and bruised, unafraid to face difficulties, to take risks, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.

He is a hero. He is absolute perfection.

(Giovanna Ferrari)

 

Well, ladies and gentlemen, the story I want to tell you today is the story of Salvatore Bruno.

Salvo was born in Misterbianco, Sicily, with simplicity, joy, boldness, respect, and above all, a lot of determination coursing through his veins. During his adolescence, amidst the street games that occupied him, one fine day, a friend gifts him a key (an old walkman), which helps him open that magical door leading him eternally towards a world that would completely envelop him: the world of music.

At 16, he already has a clear vision: to leave, to learn, to discover, to make music.

"The Absurd Story of an A Minor" is a book written by Salvo himself in an attempt to summarize 20 years of sacrifices, investments, slammed doors in the face in the effort to achieve a dream: to live by playing music.

The book indeed describes truly absurd events:

Having tried all traditional access routes, such as rigged contests, fraudulent record producers, hit-and-miss auditions, our protagonist becomes a professional photographer who, with boldness and charm, manages to acquire the contacts of all the most famous artists around.

He recounts friendships with Vasco, Red Ronnie, Venditti, Lucio Dalla, Fiorello, Max Gazzè, Costanzo, Roberto Vecchioni, Morandi, Paolo Belli, Enrico Lucci, Nek, Gianni Minà, Enrico Ruggeri, Curreri, Samuele Bersani, Bennato, Ballantini, and many others.

Over these 20 years, Salvo has learned a lot from shows like "Striscia" or "Le iene," and taking inspiration from these lessons, he begins a staggering series of television appearances with the intent of having his book published.

In addition to his activities as a photographer, musician, writer, radio host, intruder, self-producer of theatrical performances, our dear Salvo records countless phone calls always pretending to be a correspondent for said shows, successfully exposing scams of all types, providing a clear picture of the current situation in Italy: hypocrisy, lies, cowardice, and bad manners.

Incapable of giving up, he decides to manage a website, publishing all of his unique and exciting activities. On the site http://www.salvodinomedifatto.it/, you can find his biography, audio, and all videos regarding television appearances and phone call recordings, cheerfully introduced by a character who tirelessly manages to be the one true authentic author of his life.

And what the hell are we waiting for to take charge of ours?
