Susanna Parigi, Florentine singer-songwriter and professor at the Milan Conservatory, died on December 17 at the age of 62. Graduated in piano at the Cherubini Conservatory in Florence, she was pianist for Riccardo Cocciante, vocalist and accordionist for Claudio Baglioni and Raf.
The announcement in a post on his Facebook page (published by a family member): "If I am writing to you it is because I am walking towards the Father's house. I wanted to thank all the people who have stood by me in this year of tribulations. They were many and wonderful and generous. I wanted to thank the many students I have had the good fortune to meet over the years. A close relationship was born with many, made not only of music, but also of research and emotions. I wish you all the best because the world that seems to be turning upside down inevitably with you may have hope. I would like to thank the great artists who have allowed me to work with them: Claudio Baglioni, Riccardo Cocciante, Tony Levin, Raf, Pat Metheny and then Corrado Augias, Lella Costa, Marco Travaglio. Of course, I thank my historic musicians and also those with whom I had not played for a long time," the message continues.
"Everyone has given me a piece of life. Sorry if I'm writing in a hurry, but it's a difficult time. I thank my precious close friends and my family who have made many sacrifices to give me this opportunity. I've been lucky to have you by my side on my life journey."
Susanna Parigi has collaborated internationally with Pat Metheny, Noa and Tony Levin. He has worked in several television programs, from "Fantastico 6" with Pippo Baudo to "Serata d'onore" to "Tam Tam" Village with Carlo Massarini and "Sognando Sognando" with Mino D'Amato as well as having played in the Sanremo orchestra. She has eight CDs to her credit as a singer-songwriter, including In Differenza and a live DVD recorded at the Teatro dell'Arte in Milan. In 2015 he wrote the book Sound and the Invisible-Music as a Lifestyle, Infinito edition. His writing, inspired by literature and socially engaged, has been summarized by critics with the novel formula of "literary music".
