Just before he presents his new album La Caverna di Plato Live, Enrico Ruggeri talks about Milan and the contradictions of a city in which he has always lived and works, but who sometimes sees him in a strong contradiction. There is a lot of Milan on the new album Milanese singer -Songwriter that, as usual, has also been published in history books to tell some forgotten episodes.
A relationship between the musician and his city that is often returned between Ruggeri’s inspiration reasons, which will never analyze the changes of a city with a certain emotion in which he recognizes himself less and less.
Enrico Ruggeri and Milan
The heaven of Milan tells a city of contradictions between aperitifs with a mobile phone in hand on the one hand on one side of the dying clochards and Ludopathic queues for the gambling agencies on the other. In a city where people, as they rarely see the sun, closes in the darkness of the trendy building between cocktails and collective. Gorla’s little girl is a wonderful ballad that tells the drama of bombing that ways away a whole neighborhood, causing 184 victims, largely children of a primary school, stripped by the explosions and hit instead of a factory.
Knees and surroundings
The artist’s poetics, however, leaves the time he finds a chronicle that is worried: “Milan for the benefit of whether a national reference point and perhaps also for this reason a certain drift would be carefully read, and a certain concern. The city takes a bad turn.
A divisible point of view, that of a family vein: “I have only read on social media and I have never been there in the newspapers and I don’t even know what it is and where it is. But in the face of this kind of news I also absolutely stay stunned. Nonsense …”.
The speed limits and boundaries of a city
The city is projected in its most public dimension made of communication and evidence: “We have talked about Expò and now we are talking about the Olympic Games – says Rugeri – all beautiful. But in the end we are a city that is the opposite. I don’t know how to manage such a metropolis.
The politically correct is a ballast: “If you say certain things, and therefore that it would take over more control, and perhaps even more repression for certain phenomena, you are labeled as an intolerant moralist. The truth is that when I am in the neighborhood, and I speak to people, I only feel that everyone wants to be a safer and more living city.
The safety junction
Milan for Ruggeri stays at home, despite everything: “It is the city where I always live and work, I often no longer recognize it and struggles to understand, but it is still the place I call at home. I would like fewer words, more concreteness, more attention, more attention, greater sensitivity towards people, all.
In the last few months, too much room has given the news delivery to which the risk of making the habit is led: “It would be the worst – Ruggeri – gets used to the worst saying that so many things are now. Milan is taking a disturbing turn, I would say ugly. What can happen to you or your children if you are out of the house …”.
