Fedez raised 2 million to help entertainment workers

Fedez, the well-known rapper and husband of influencer Chiara Ferragni, has managed to raise 2 million euros to help workers in the entertainment industry, thanks to the Scena Unita fund he launched a few days ago and which has seen the participation of a large number of protagonists from the world of music, film, and entertainment. Fedez had announced his idea at the end of October, explaining that he and many other artists would forego government relief funds and that in parallel they would make themselves available to raise funds to lend a hand to entertainment workers. Then, last week, the presentation of “Scena Unita” on the stage of X Factor, the popular reality show dedicated to music, where the singer performed his latest single, Bella storia, and then spoke about the project.

Scena Unita is an initiative carried out by a collective of artists and entertainment workers who, together with Cesvi Onlus (which is responsible for managing the fund), La Musica che Gira and Music Innovation Hub, and with the contribution of several private entities, have raised a considerable amount of money that will be used to support those in the entertainment world who have been affected in recent months by the crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. Fedez went on to emphasize that the fund does not ask anything from Italians (“it made no sense,” he specified, “to ask for help from people who have already largely spent themselves on this emergency”), and that, in practice, it works on the principle of those who have more give more.

And now therefore also the revelation of how much has been raised so far: more than two million euros. This was stated by Fedez himself while speaking on Focus Live. Contributors to the fund include names such as Vasco Rossi, Francesco De Gregori, Antonello Venditti, Gianni Morandi, Gianna Nannini, Fiorello, Achille Lauro, Manuel Agnelli, Calcutta, Shade, Carlo Verdone, Claudio Baglioni, Emma Marrone, Lo Stato Sociale, Levante, Maria De Filippi, Amadeus, Lorella Cuccarini, Elisa, Il Volo, Sabrina Ferilli, Alessandra Amoroso, Caparezza, Elio e le storie tese, Gigi D’Alessio, Baby K, Ermal Meta, Fabrizio Moro, Paolo Bonolis, Coez, Tommaso Paradiso, Giovanni Caccamo, Chiara Galiazzo, Pinguini tattici Nucleari, Eugenio in Via di Gioia. Once the collection is over, Fedez finally let it be known, the work of the technical committee that will set up the call through which the resources will be disbursed will begin.
