Luca Carboni: the likely setlist for the Rome concert at Palazzo dello Sport. After Jovanotti, Elisa and Cremonini, who will be the next guest?

Tomorrow night, March 12, Rome's Palazzo dello Sport (Palaeur) will host Luca Carboni's live return to the Capital, one of the central dates of his new tour. After sold-out shows in Milan and Bologna, the Bologna-born singer-songwriter arrives in Rome for the third date of a much-anticipated comeback, his first in over two years following the health issues and treatment he has faced in recent months.

On the eve of the show, rumours are circulating about a possible surprise guest, following what happened at the previous dates, which saw Jovanotti, Elisa and Cesare Cremonini, among others, join him on stage. For the Rome date, the name mentioned most often is Tommaso Paradiso, who has worked with Carboni in the past co-writing "Luca all the same" and who recently hinted in an interview at the possibility of an appearance.

The tour, titled “Rio Ari O”, is built as a journey through the Emilian artist's back catalogue, blending narration, imagery and arrangements that alternate between moments of full-throttle energy and more intimate acoustic passages. The setlist spans over forty years of his career, from early songs such as “Ci stiamo sbagliando” and “Fragole buone buone”, taken from the album “… intanto Dustin Hoffman non sbaglia un film”, to tracks from the period immediately after, such as “Sarà un uomo” and “La mamma” from “Forever”. Several of his best-known songs also feature, including “Little butterfly”, “Silvia, you know”, “Bologna è una regola”, “Mare mare” and “Ci vuole un fisico bestiale”, right up to “San Luca”, the song written by Cremonini on which Carboni collaborated.

Based on the setlist performed at the Milan date, here is the likely setlist for Luca Carboni's concert in Rome (Palaeur):

• Primavera
• Sto pensando
• Ci stiamo sbagliando
• Fragole buone buone
• Sarà un uomo
• La mamma
• Solarium
• You're there because
• Dear Jesus
• My city
• Grains of wheat
• National anthem
• Do you really love me
• What is love
• The girls
• Night buses
• Little butterfly
• Silvia, you know
• 1992 Mix (Love Stories / Whores and Brides)
• Either it's Christmas every day
• Luca all the same
• San Luca
• Bologna è una regola
• Vieni a vivere con me
• Mare mare
• Una grande festa
• Ci vuole un fisico bestiale
• La califfa

On stage, Carboni will be backed by an eight-piece band: Antonello Giorgi on drums, Mauro Patelli on guitars, Ignazio Orlando on bass, Antonello D'Urso as musical director and guitar, Fulvio Ferrari on keyboards and sequencing, Gabriele Miceli on guitars, Fabrizio Luca on percussion and Andrea Ferrario on horns and keyboards.

The “Rio Ari O Tour” will continue in spring with two concerts in Bologna, the April 19 show already sold out and the April 20 show still with tickets available, before the summer leg that will take the show through September across festivals, amphitheaters and other outdoor venues.
