Sal Da Vinci: "Meloni did not ask me to use 'Per Sempre Sì' for the referendum campaign"
Singer Sal Da Vinci clarified that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni did not request him to use his song 'Per Sempre Sì' for her referendum campaign, dismissing rumors about their brief phone call.
Sal Da Vinci, an Italian singer, recently addressed rumors surrounding a phone call he had with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. He noted that while Meloni did call him to compliment his work, the conversation lasted only 30 seconds and did not involve any requests related to his song 'Per Sempre Sì' being used for the referendum campaign. Da Vinci emphasized that such speculations are merely 'fake news' that tend to circulate online and grow out of proportion.
The context of this clarification arises amidst political tensions where music and art are often intertwined with political messaging. The song 'Per Sempre Sì', which won at the Sanremo Music Festival, carries romantic themes that Da Vinci insists should remain separate from the political sphere unless he personally decides to share it. He pointed out the commonality of songs on digital platforms, highlighting that anyone can listen or share them regardless of political contexts.
Sal Da Vinci further reiterated his pride in the creative process behind the song, sharing that it was crafted collaboratively with a talented team. This insight into his artistic journey serves as a reminder of the importance of separating personal artistic expression from political agendas, reinforcing his stance that while his music is public and accessible, its use should be respectful and voluntary.
