Allevi in Sanremo: “I will play a song written during his illness”
Giovanni Allevi will be on the Ariston stage on Wednesday 7 February as a guest of the Sanremo Festival. The pianist, who recently had to fight myeloma, returns to play after two years and promises “rebirth”. He will talk and play the piano. In the last few hours he has shared some Instagram stories to announce his arrival in the City of Flowers. “I will present a new song, it’s called ‘Tomorrow’, I wrote it during my illness – he says in a brief greeting to the press – I don’t evoke a distant tomorrow, but an expanded present. Music saved me, the illness, as I will explain , made it difficult for me to play the piano, it really hit home there. I will play and tell my story in the hope of being able to help many other patients, as many other patients have helped me.”
