Its purpose is to use words, music and testimonies to raise public awareness of environmental issues and how each of us, starting with a small daily decision, can contribute to preserving the future of this beautiful planet. The conductor will be accompanied on both evenings by Nino Frassica and Mario Tozzi as well as a parterre of great guests. In the first episode, Ornella Vanoni, Levante Francesco Arca, Giusy Buscemi, Mr. Rain and Alfa enter the studio bringing with them a symbolic flower, a declaration of love to Mother Earth. Gabbani will dance, duet, interpret some of his biggest hits and songs by other great songwriters. He will bring his band, enriched by a few musicians and three choir singers, and there will also be an integrative corps de ballet, far from stereotypes, consisting of eight dancers, with choreography by Luca Paoloni.
