One man alone. The last hours of Luigi Tenco/Antonio Iovane

"Tenco settles himself in front of the microphone, Reverberi smiles at the orchestra, gives the attack, the choir performs the theme of the chorus, there is little audience, Dalida is at the back, Tenco's gaze does not exceed the double microphone a few centimeters from his mouth, he does not need to go further, Reverberi turns to the winds: clarinets and saxophones spread a sound carpet, Tenco has chosen a very different version from that of Dalida but it would be appropriate to say that Dalida has chosen a version very different, because that song is by Tenco ”. The song was "Ciao amore, ciao", the evening was that of the rehearsals of the Sanremo Festival which preceded just that January 26, 1967, the day on which, after the performance and the consequent elimination, Luigi Tenco was found dead in his hotel room.

The opening words are from Antonio Iovane's latest book, "A lonely man. The last hours of Luigi Tenco "(Mondadori), presented in the spaces of the Ergot Cultural Workshops within the" Seven minus ten live "review. The writer and journalist reconstructs the songwriter's last day in a very long sequence shot without pretending to shed light on his present suicide but, rather, to bring out the torment, contradictions and dreams of an artist out of time.

Free admission.
