The sound of music against the sound of bombs.
To promote peace and give a little serenity to those fleeing from war.
The pianist
Davide Martello
, a German of Sicilian origin, 40, went to the border between Germany and Poland towing his piano on a two-wheeled trailer: his mission is to play for all the refugees of the war between Russia and Ukraine who they are trying to reach the countries of the European Union.
A mission that the musician took to heart and that in the past has also led him to other solidarity exhibitions in Istanbul, Paris and Kiev.
On the German-Polish border, Davide went to the piano to welcome Ukrainian refugees with music, especially women and children.
The video with his performance has made the rounds of the web and in one of these a refugee approaches the traveling pianist by putting herself at the piano to play 'We are the champions' by Queen.
Martello is not new to this type of initiative.
In 2013 he went to Istanbul and enchanted Gezi Park with his piano, the evening before the eviction wanted by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Hundreds of people, including policemen, stopped to listen to the notes played by the pianist: 'Imagine' and 'Let it be', but also 'Bella Ciao'.
The musician played for 12 hours straight, until the cops took away his piano and he became the hero of Taksim Square.
It was repeated a year later, in April 2014, during the Maidan revolution and the civil war in Donetsk.
And again, he was close to the French after the 2015 Paris attacks by bringing his piano to one of the symbolic places of the tragedy: the Bataclan theater, where once again he played John Lennon's 'Imagine', moving everyone.
