There is still talk of the controversy opened by Renato Zero against pink chemistry, in truth controversy not “ad personam” but against the Sanremo 2023 Festival in general. In the viewfinder of the Roman singer-songwriter there are a few selection options for the artists, ergo in the viewfinder the artistic director amadeus: according to Zero, too many clones, too many singers without identity and without the necessary training behind them. “Rosa Chemical isn’t to blame, but whoever puts him on stage,” he personified the criticism, perhaps because Rosa Chemical is sort of “aping” Renato Zero, albeit certainly in different eras.
Well, now he’s up against the mythological author of Baratto Cristiano DeAndre, son of Faber who wrote the history of Italian music. De Andrè expresses himself on Instagram in a post that follows directly from the photo in which Renato Zero is depicted.

At the bottom of the photo the comment: “The comments made on the artists of Sanremo, in my opinion Renato Zero if he could avoid it at all‘ brings it straight to the point. And again: “Everyone understands it in their own way… A great artist does not have to expose himself, to compare, to confirm, it’s just like that. It’s also the soaring that confirms he’s a great artist. It will take another ten/twenty years before all this ridiculous and useless sham and subcultural theater disappears from the scene without a trace. And anyway, something new is born in the meantime, isn’t it? A general mea culpa would fit, a very large mea culpa,” concludes Cristiano De Andrè in a rather astute critique.
In detail, during the press conference for the start of his next tour in the indoor stadiums, Renato Zero said that “participating in the Social I discover an impressive number of my doubles“. And again: “But there has to be a way to get out of this machinations. The original is necessary if it remains an episode in its own right. In the past we have had a number of very senior people who have advised us. They allowed Renato Zero, Claudio Baglioni and others to carry an identity, for that reason it’s not Rosa Chemical’s fault if she didn’t find them, but those who still believe that music isn’t that important .” And the controversy continues…
