Gianni Morandi performs in the Senate and also makes Meloni and the ministers sing

A different morning than usual in the Senate, where Gianni Morandi he performed a small concert in front of parliamentarians on the anniversary of the first sitting in the chamber, exactly 75 years ago. Special guest the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarellawelcomed to applause: he too listened to the most famous songs of the Emilian singer, seated between the president of the Senate Ignazio La Russa and the premier Giorgia Meloni.

Beginning with the Mameli anthem, Morandi moved on to “Un mondo d’amore” and “Apri tutte le porte”, then giving a short speech. “I’ve sung in many places in my life, a little everywhere. But here it’s the first time and there’s a bit of emotion. I wanted to tell you that when the Senate was born, on May 8, 1948, I was already there, I was already three years old”, he said. Adding then that “singing the song ‘There was a boy’ has an effect, when it came out it was the subject of a parliamentary question because it condemned a friendly country, the United States for the war in Vietnam. It has an effect because fortunately today these censorships no longer exist“.

In the images from Palazzo Madama, we can see some protagonists of the political scene enjoying an impromptu karaoke: the same Giorgia Meloni he hummed “Get Mommy to send you.” And while among the benches you can see the heads of the senators moving to the rhythm, the minister is also in the front row Guido Crosetto he started humming a few more famous verses. But the most involved by the music is Matthew Renzi, who sings Morandi’s hits from his desk.

“I felt this celebration was really necessary – he said Ignatius LaRussawhich opened and closed the event – ​​because remembering the first session of the Senate means remembering the moment in which, together with our Constitutional Charter, the people once again became truly sovereign over their destiny”.
