Lombardy youth councillor outraged by Achille Lauro's performance in Sanremo

He protests Lombardy Regional Councillor for Youth Stefano Bolognini over Achille Lauro ’s performance at the first night of the Sanremo Festival 2022, which took place last night. The Roman singer opened edition number 72 of the Festival by performing as the first artist, with the song Domenica performed to theHarlem Gospel Choir, a U.S. gospel music choir.

“I saw only today, online, Achille Lauro’s performance at Sanremo last night and I could not help but think that, fortunately, the vast majority of the young people I see every day are far from such a way of expressing themselves and thinking,” Bolognini stressed in an official note. “The Festival has always been a kermesse in which young people are and must also be protagonists, but that of the Veronese rapper was not an expression of youthful protagonism, but only gratuitous blasphemy in very bad taste with, moreover, a concrete risk of emulation.”

“I am convinced that young people have much more interesting things to tell us,” the Lombard councillor continues, “and to show us than last night’s vulgar performance, and the many young people I have been able to meet in the area in recent months have amply confirmed this to me. I can safely say that it is certainly not the ’Achille Lauros’ who are the role models they need, but rather young peers, and there are millions of them, who accomplish something positive every day and who make themselves protagonists, even in small things, with their will to do and their ideas.”

“I believe,” Bolognini concludes, “that institutions and the media have a duty to encourage these positive sentiments and to show what they accomplish every day, certainly not to give space to offensive and blasphemous displays, such as the one aired last night.”
