Genoa will remember great singer-songwriter Fabrizio De Andrè with a major concert featuring Italian and overseas artists at the start of the summer, Liguria Governor Giovanni Toti said Sunday, which would have been the Genoese musician's 84th birthday.
Toti said De Andrè, who died aged 58 in 1999, was "one of our country's greatest and best loved singer-songwriters, deathless Ligurian pride, in the hearts of so many Genoese and others.
"At the beginning of the summer Liguria will celebrate his talent with a great concert in Genoa.
"An international showcase but above all a dutiful homage to DeAndrè's story and his musical heritage, which continues to fascinate the new generations of singer-songwriters".
