Cesare Cremonini and Luca Carboni, a love hymn to the city

Jun 20, 2025
Bologna, June 20, 2025 – It is certainly the photo of the heart, of the summer and, for us, the photo of the tour. Cesare Cremonini's double concert, at the Dall'Ara stadium (photo ), set the audience alight, going straight to the hearts of the fans ( video ). One surprise after another, one heartbeat after another, Cesare took everyone with him on this "long journey that I made to return home, and we Bolognese, you know, feel at home only when we see the lights of San Luca from the highway".

And San Luca observes the sea of raised arms when he sings 'San Luca ', next to Luca Carboni who returns to the stage for a presence hoped for even before it was announced. Who is moved when speaking of "living this prayer, these words, together with the Dall'Ara, under the gaze of the Madonna of San Luca. Thank you Cesare". Could there have been anything more profound and powerful?
But the surprises of the first concert did not end there. In fact, if among the audience there were Riccardo Calafiori and Riccardo Orsolini, engaged in a crowd bath among the fans of the rossoblù faith as well as Cremonini, the artist wanted to give (and give himself) a real moment of celebration, calling on stage Orsolini who, with a smile to the audience, sang 'Poetica' ( video ) alongside Cesare and Carboni. The song that the stadium is now used to singing after every victory - and there have been many - of Bologna at home. This is the still image of an extraordinary summer dawn, with a stadium that for two nights experienced the embrace of a son of this city who, gone far away, ' Alaska Baby' returns home to the rhythm of the heart. "Hug each other, touch each other, hold hands because I want to travel with you. Bologna, hug me and come dream with me!" he said. And if this is a dream, don't wake us up.
