(ANSA) - ROME, 08 MAY - "I would have liked to go to Kiev: it would have meant that the war was over. Music in its own way is a means of peace and love and being united here still means sending a message of peace. I am against any war going on in the world." Marco Mengoni, with the song winner at the Sanremo festival Due Vite (just certified triple platinum), is ready to take the stage of the Liverpool Arena where he will represent Italy for the Eurovision Song Contestal starting on Tuesday with the semi-finals (Italy has access to the final scheduled for Saturday 13). The event is broadcast by Rai. Mengoni is in his second participation after that of 2013 with L'Essenziale. "Compared to ten years ago - he says - mixed fun more. I'm living it better, with less pressure and more desire to enjoy it. Now there is more experience and I know how to manage emotions better."
Of the vote and the race, moreover, he says he does not worry much. "I'm relatively interested. Competition is something I consider a bit negative, while singing never is."
To bring his world to the Liverpool Arena stageMarco Mengoni has chosen the art of Yoann Borgeois, international artist (he recently collaborated with Harry Styles, with Pink!, and again with Coldplay, Serena Gomez, Missy Elliot and FKATwig), a performer, choreographer, artistic director, acrobat.
Eurovision will be an opportunity for the artist to expand his audience also in view of a European tour of eight dates in autumn that will touch Spain, Belgium, Holland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland. (ANSA).
