Gianni Morandi makes his voice heard to encourage his devstate areaEmilia Romagna. From his house nearby BolognaIn the Regional Park of Gessi Bolognesi and Calanchi dell’Abbadessa San Lazzaro di Savena, where he lives with his wife Anna Dan, the singer shared a text that talks about his land and its inhabitants.
“Emilia Romagna is the piece of land that God wanted for people to build Ferraris.” People in Emilia-Romagna are like that. Do you need to build a car? They make a Ferrari, a Maserati and a Lamborghini. Do you have to ride a motorcycle? They build a Ducati. Do they have to make a cheese? They invent Parmigiano Reggiano».
Cesare Cremonini and the flood in Romagna: “This is the realm of brotherhood and compassion, donated now”
Then he adds: «Do they have to make two spaghetti? They founded Barilla. Do they have to make you a coffee? They make you Saeco. Need to find someone to write songs? They give birth to people like Dalla, Morandi, Vasco, Liga, Zucchero, Laura Pausini, Cremonini and many others… Do they have to give you an injection? They educate you to be a biomedical company. Do they need to make 4 tiles? They invent majolica».
Tiredness
“They are like the Japanese,” Morandi continues, “they don’t stop, they don’t get tired, and when they have to do something they like to do it well and nice and useful for everyone.” After an earthquake, there are stones for collecting? In the end they will build cathedrals.” And finally, an invitation: “Come on Bologna, come on Romagna, come on Emilia Romagna, we may fall, but we will get up stronger than before, we never give up.” “ It’s too beautiful.” not to share it – concludes the singer – thanks to the one who thought it up and wrote it».
