“I don’t talk much, I don’t put my private life in the streets on social media. I don’t care and when it happened I didn’t like doing it, however these days of strong controversy I realized that in some moments, instead, I should do it. I figured it out when they told me that the trick is to take possession of something that doesn’t belong to me. But make-up isn’t just make-up, it’s the world I want to take people to, it’s my expressive will, it’s the color and dress of words ». Thus begins the hard outburst that Achille Lauro decides to entrust to Instagram next to a photo that portrays him sitting, arms around his knees, inside a cage, after the attacks received for his intervention in the show of Pio and Amedeo Happy evening. «I understood it – says the singer – when they humiliated me thinking that I am a clown who shows off. But in my artistic interpretation, music is not just music. It is spectacle, it is a state of mind, it is an ideal, it is extreme freedom, it is the rejection of those who believed that I was not free, or I was not up to par, it is the consequence of years of humiliation and shame. I understood this when for a comment referring to solidarity with show workers they called me homophobic, after years of calling me a ‘fag’ thinking of offending me! ».

«For years I have invested money, time and commitment in the protection of human rights – continues Lauro on Instagram – for the rights of abandoned people in prisons, to help children in hospitals, for children in communities, for those without a home, for those who are left without work, for anyone who needs help and to be the architect and participant, in my small way, of a revolution for which the social, cultural and human condition of weak and discriminated classes can change definitively “. “For those who don’t know me I want to remember that I’ve been doing it since I didn’t have a penny, because I grew up among the marginalized and the outcast, because I know what it means to feel different, never understood, alone – he concludes -. When you are nobody to the world. My mother educated me by teaching me that helping others is a priority and for those who have the opportunity it is a duty. Be careful because reality is not just what you see on newspapers and TV, and behind those stories, very often, there are real lives made of suffering, values and battles ».
