Maria Antonietta and Colombre, the happiest couple of the festival
Maria Antonietta and Colombre bring a fresh sound to the Sanremo Festival, advocating for the right to happiness for everyone.
At the Sanremo Festival, the musical duo Maria Antonietta and Colombre, a romantic couple and emerging voices in the independent music scene, perform their new song "La felicità e basta." Contrary to what the title may imply, the song carries a powerful message about the fundamental right to happiness for all individuals. The duo, consisting of Letizia Cesarini and Giovanni Imparato, express their excitement at being featured in this prestigious event, a significant milestone in their career journey.
Letizia, who uses the stage name Maria Antonietta, chose her name to contrast the negative perception of the historical figure with the idea of a true queen, while Giovanni adopted the name Colombre, inspired by a character from Dino Buzzati's stories. Their performance at the festival is not just a personal triumph but also an important statement about their artistic beliefs. They aim to convey that happiness is a basic human right that deserves recognition and prioritization in society.
As they make their debut on such a grand stage, Maria Antonietta and Colombre hope their participation will resonate with the audience and highlight the importance of individual happiness. Their journey from being under-the-radar musicians to participating in a major cultural event reflects the evolving landscape of the music industry where independent artists are increasingly gaining visibility and influence.
