The Ariston Theatre is often a litmus test of how our country is changing, a stage of flowers, unforgettable songs, and pop hits, but also marked by imposed silences, censorship, and small cultural revolutions brought about by the sound of music. Radio Pride, fresh from an extraordinary first experience at the very heart of the Sanremo Music Festival, has decided to embrace the legacy of one of these battles and transform it into a benchmark for the future.
This is how the “Federico Salvatore Award”, a special recognition that our newspaper has decided to award to the most "queer" moment of the singing competition. This prize is also intended as an act of love and justice towards an artist who paid dearly for his freedom.
Federico Salvatore
A Neapolitan singer-songwriter with a sharp wit and a deeply sensitive pen, Federico Salvatore (who passed away in 2023) was known to the general public for his humorous songs. However, behind the mask of a comedian was a composer capable of touching the most intimate and painful chords of the human soul and of a profoundly changing Italian society.
