From the love of his parents, born during the Second World War, when his father was hiding in her cellar, who saved him by falling in love with him, to the bullying he suffered as a child, up to some sorrow linked to Sanremo, he is an all-round Ron what is told by presenting the new album of unreleased songs, 'I'm a son', 13 songs dedicated to his father that come out on September 30th, crowning the many projects linked to his 50-year career.
Time to take stock, with the confession of a certain regret for not having had children, born after the birth of his grandson, but a certainty that accompanies and supports him at every step: "Music - he says, presenting the new ones with a small set songs - it always saves me ".
"Every time I came back from Sanremo, and some were disastrous, I came back with great sadness, but the music always put me back on my feet. With the covid - the singer-songwriter continues - I couldn't write, but the music took me by the scruff and once again got me back on my feet. "
To those who ask him if to crown the anniversary he could return to Sanremo, Ron replies decisively: "Are you kidding? They never invited me, but if it's the song festival you have to put a song, 'The heart is a gypsy' was a great song, now it's all about the characters and it's also good, but in the end you have to write ".
"I do not have it with Sanremo, but I would like to bring out the music. When I was excluded in 2017 I felt a great discomfort - he confides - because 'The eighth wonder' seemed to me a good song and I am tied to music".
That the passion for the seven notes still burns strong is demonstrated by the new album, for which Ron has collaborated with artists including Guido Morra, Maurizio Fabrizio, Bungaro, Giulio Wilson, Niccolò Agliardi, Edwyn Roberts, Mattia Del Forno of "La Scelta" , Cesare Chiodo, Rakele, Donato Santoianni.
And then a cameo by Paolo Fresu (in "A spaceship in the sky") and a cover of "Break My Heart Again" by Finneas.
Among the songs 'Annina', dedicated to all women who never feel enough, and 'Pop melodrama', in which the words of Guido Morra outline the story of Rosalino Cellamare: "The years advance and the hope of Ron / who I am now comes to meet me / then I go down and accept the confrontation. "
In the'
And Ron, who dedicated the album to the theme, what son was he?
"Apparently very sweet, but I also did reckless things and - he says - I was bullied. At the end of elementary school some boys started kicking me. I never said anything, but I suffered a lot. Then, I don't know why, at the end of the 'year they apologized and perhaps this - consider - is the difference with what is happening today ".
