COLLATERAL EVENTS
Piazza Matteotti, 9pm: Musical show with Antonio Sorgentone (photo below and profile).
The winner of Italia’s Got Talent 2019 is Antonio Sorgentone. The virtuoso pianist won the fourth edition of the show with 18.26% of the preferences, overtaking the magician Andrea Paris and the mime Nicola Virdis. A triumph for the first Golden Buzzer of this edition, which had immediately bewitched Mara Maionchi. Someone who knows a lot about talents. Let’s discover together something more about this spectacular artist.
Antonio Sorgentone, born in 1983, originally from Abruzzo (he lives in Giulianova), is a gifted, virtuoso and…vintage singer and pianist. Born and raised in a family of instrumentalists, he started playing the piano at 10 years old, immediately showing great talent. Inspired by masters of jazz, boogie woogie and swing, such as the Italians Renato Carosone or Fred Buscaglione but also by the breathless rock and roll of Jerry Lee Lewis, he began an artistic career that led him to become in just a few years one of best local artists of its genre. His artistic life path has led him to already play in over 600 places around the world, with shows also in important countries such as France, Germany and Sweden. He has also composed original soundtracks for films of various genres and one of his songs was used as a jingle for a Volkswagen commercial aired in Poland in 2013. However, his launching pad was Italia’s Got Talent. Thanks to the television show he was able to show his artistic and spectacular skills, conquering the public.
11.30 pm, Andrea Doria seafront: Conclusion of the party with the firing of the fireworks offered by the municipal administration.
The stalls of the fair, around 250, as usual are located in the streets of the center up to the entire Via Piave and including Via Veneto. The plants are positioned on the pedestrian area.
The amusement park is divided into two points: in Piazza Peppino Bontempo and, for children, in Piazza Tullio Trifilò.
