Genoa will remember great
singer-songwriter Fabrizio De Andrè with a major concert
featuring Italian and overseas artists at the start of the
summer, Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti said Sunday, which would
have been the Genoese musician's 84th birthday.
Toti said De Andrè, who died aged 58 in 1999, was "one of our
country's greatest and best loved singer-songwriters, deathless
Ligurian pride, in the hearts of so many Genoese and others.
"At the beginning of the summer Liguria will celebrate his
talent with a great concert in Genoa.
"An international showcase but above all a dutiful homage to De
Andrè's story and his musical heritage, which continues to
fascinate the new generations of singer-songwriters".
