(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 23 - "I haven't changed my mind about my interest in politics: I don't believe in parties but in people, in people who demonstrate that they are active. And if you ask me about Giorgia Meloni, I'll answer that I think so." well, that she is a strong-willed and competent person, a woman, studious and with the right grit to carry on the task she has given herself".
Giulio Rapetti Mogol, has just been named "counselor for popular culture" by Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano.
An acknowledgment that would seem to give an answer to the age-old questions about the alignment in which to place the musical partnership with Lucio Battisti politically.
"I'm not disinterested in politics, I'm interested in people: my ideas are based on the assessment of those who say the things I share," he explained to ANSA.
Even with regards to his new role, Mogol has very clear ideas: "I am a music adviser and therefore we will try to do everything possible to contribute to an improvement in production. My idea is that it is on popular culture that people's cultural growth also depends: if popular culture has evolved, people who memorize song lyrics have the ability to feed on higher concepts".
In short, adds Mogol, "the main thing is not to chase the masses, chase views on social networks, look for competence, evaluate beauty".
Did you not like Sanremo?
"I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard, it doesn't seem like there was great quality. It was a festival that played more on the attraction of the show itself".
