Achille Lauro entered the Olimp (IC) or pop, like it or not

The singer-songwriter who with the dedication to his city of “Amor” looks to the masters of the Roman songwriter, the periphery trapper who in pieces such as “Beauty and the Beast” aspired to a future far from that “rotten context and without culture” in which he had grown up, the aspiring punk-rock of “1969” and what in “milk+” looked at the funk: there are all the Achilles of the Achilles. hours of show that the 34 -year -old Roman songwriter brings to the stage of the Circus Maximus, in front of 14 thousand adoring fans. Achille Lauro last night he consecrated himself in the heart of his city after the triumphs of these monthsfrom the single “Love desperate” to the Sanremese Exploit with “Inconscious Young”, up to the album “ordinary mortals”.

Lauro has normalized himself

The caterpillar turned into a wonderful butterfly: the metaphor chosen by the voice of “Rolls Royce” to launch the disc, released in April, represents perfectly The turning point. The divisive artist of “I don’t care” and the same “Rolls Royce” no longer lives here. Lauro has normalized, has become pop, in the purest meaning of the term: popular. «Rome, flattering to be here tonight. You are wonderful. Finally at home. It is incredible to return to my city and find you so here, from where we started, without knowing where we were going and above all without knowing where we will arrive, “he told the fans, of all ages, from the stage of the Circus Maximus, where tomorrow evening he will do an encore, speaking to the plural to underline the bond with his people. What has “saved», As he remembered when he sang”Young unconscious“, Accompanying him to that nationalplap -opal success he has searched for years. It was 2018 when the remix of”Thoiry“Incidentally with Gemitaiz, Quentin40 and Puritano, he became viral, starting to circulate the name of that artist with the same name of a Neapolitan owner, the one who in the difficult post -war period promised the citizens a kilo of pasta in exchange for the vote. In 2019”Rolls Royce“He brought him to the most nationalpopular stage in Italy: that of Sanremo. From then on, an ascent marked by many changes of course: the dance, the jazz, the funk, the songwriter. In the end he understood that to take the forward leap he had to take a step back. Instead of continuing to add accessories to his music, he had to do the reverse operation: remove the superstructures, leaving only the bare minimum.

From “Thoiry” to “Amor”: ascent of a pop star

On the stage of the Circus Maximus, yesterday, he did not retraces that rise in chronological order, but He had fun mixing the cards, accompanied by a band and an orchestra of 40 elements: showed up on stage with “love”, Showing the latest version of himself, but then pitted one after the other “Bam Bam Twist”, “Damn San Francisco”, “1969”, “Only us”, “Marilù”, “I don’t care”, “Desperate love”, “Rolls Royce”, “young unconscious”. There seemed to be a message all to be deciphered, between the lines: he who in “Rolls Royce” sang that he had never been himself at the bottom yesterday he claimed how in his music there has always been of the substance, in one way or another, but as only the simplicity of “desperate love” and “young unconscious” has given value to everything done before. His ascent, at the show level, represented it with the image of the piano which on “lostly” went upwards of the stage.

The concert at the Olympic stadium

Rethops and Pailets have given way to elegant suits, from Crooner of the past: As if by magic, the disturbing and divisive aura that many seemed to perceive by listening to the records before “ordinary mortals” has disappeared. Who knows how many of the mothers and aunts that took it yesterday in question when on “Milk+” he invited everyone to remove some dress, at the Sanremo of “I don’t care” they turned my nose. And while the credits flowed, between “C’est la vie” and “March 16”, a video put all the “eras” of his discography in line before the announcement: On June 10, 2026 he will perform for the first time in his career at the Olympic Stadium. “Something I dream since I was ten years old is about to come true,” he announced.
