The post on social media

Recently, Allevi shared a post on his Instagram profile, through which he explained the dramatic situation he is going through. The composer uploaded a picture of his hands accompanied by a touching description, with which he confessed: “These hands are shaking from the strong drugs I’m taking and right now I can’t play. But new music rushes into my mind and I never miss a note. Now it’s sweet, now it’s crazy and incomprehensible, dreamy and thoughtful, metaphysical. I can’t wait to let you hear it.”
A few months ago, Allevi spoke of “sometimes unbearable physical pain” when the illness was unexpectedly announced. Although he thinned out his appearances on social media, he was still always present. And right on his Instagram profile and Facebook, he was overwhelmed by the affection of the fans and followers who were willing to support him in this challenge as well.
Last June, it was he who broke the news of the illness to fans through a poignant post on his profile. An announcement that added to another tragedy striking the following month Giovanni Allevi and his family: the death of his sister Maria Stella. The woman, a law teacher in Ascoli Piceno, is said to have taken her own life.
