Long, intense and exciting interview released by the singer Renato Zero al Corriere della Sera. From childhood to the debut album to move on to love for the Neapolitans: “When I was little we lived in the historic center, via Ripetta. In the house three bachelor uncles, my grandmother Renata, my three sisters, my father, my mother, me, our female German shepherd who took me for a walk. It was not an apartment big but we had camped well. In winter it was warm with each other. We breathed Romanella its deepest entity. We did not have a bathroom in the house, but on the balcony. And the gentlemen who had set their sights on this Rome from the great building prospects they said to all families like ours: “If you go to the suburbs, you also have the service inside the house. left a stepmother and we found a mother, the township “.
In 1973 it was the turn of his debut album: “No! Mom, no! “. With make-up and sequins, she lashed out at conformism and abortion. “That record announced that I would be one with a thousand faces. The mask was an element of the Greeks and Latins, they preferred it to diplomacy, to the false institutional, because it gave life to a game in which you can test your intuition. When I see one that I can’t decipher makes me want to look inside it to understand it.
Need makes the man a thief. When you are hungry, for anything, you become a lizard, a pachyderm, a monkey. I love the Neapolitans because they signed a pact with life: they are not gelatinous, static. If I were to present an Italian abroad, I would send a Neapolitan “.
