“The election for the Quirinale? I hope that, given the times we are going through, we will move away from the usual Italian political ‘derbies’ between Guelphs and Ghibellines …”. This is the hope expressed by Claudio Baglioni, in the hours preceding the first concert of his tour, ‘Twelve notes only’, which starts this evening from the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma. “The figure of the President of the Republic in Italy is exemplary, emblematic, beyond his real powers – observes Baglioni – I hope that our politicians do not make this matter a survey on which party is more powerful than the other. Above all, I hope that you will find a person who is really up to the situation, who at this moment is a ‘hut’, and that it will be done soon “. (by Enzo Bonaiuto)
