Morgan defends Sal Da Vinci and his "Per sempre sì": "There's the harmony of Domenico Scarlatti in it"

An unexpected defense, for the winner of the latest edition of the Sanremo Festival. Morgan has taken a stance in the debate that followed Sal Da Vinci's win at the Ariston with the song "Per sempre sì". Speaking on "Peppy Night", the show hosted by Peppe Iodice on Canale 21, the Lombard musician defended the song, emphasizing above all its harmonic construction.

From the moment it was announced as the winner, the song has been at the center of much criticism: deemed by some too traditional or dated, it has also been subject to polemical readings over its chorus built around the repeated word "sì" ("yes"). There has been no shortage of political or ideological interpretations either, hypotheses that Sal Da Vinci himself has rejected.

According to Morgan Castoldi, beyond the debate, the song has a musical structure that is anything but banal. The frontman of Bluvertigo argued that its harmonic framework harks back to Italian classical tradition, and in particular to Domenico Scarlatti. "I think Sal Da Vinci was a wonderful idea," Morgan pointed out, "an important event, not a trivial one. Not so much because the song is nice and evokes the 1970s, but harmonically it's interesting... ...Domenico Scarlatti's harmony is the most important music in the whole world... ...Sal Da Vinci is a beautiful, sensitive and compassionate person... ...Why are there all these wars, genocides, this horrendous politics? Because there's no more mercy. Giving power, then, to someone who has mercy, could make the world better."

Meanwhile, the Lombard musician is busy with the return of Bluvertigo. After selling out their Milan date scheduled for April, the band has announced new summer performances at Italian festivals, marking a new chapter in the group's live activity.

After announcing the sell-out for the show scheduled for next April 14 at the Alcatraz in Milan, Bluvertigo have announced the first dates of the tour planned for summer 2026. 

Presale tickets are already available through the Vivaticket circuit at the following link.

Below are the dates confirmed so far:

07.16 – Asti – AstiMusica

07.18 – Rome – Rock In Roma / Ippodromo delle Capannelle

07.19 – Florence – Anfiteatro delle Cascine Ernesto De Pascale

07.23 – Naples – Noisy Naples Fest / Mostra d'Oltremare

07.24 – Assisi (PG) – Riverock Festival

08.21 – Cattolica (RN) – Arena della Regina

08.27 – Bassano del Grappa (VI) – Ama Music Festival

12.09 – Milan – Kozel Carroponte

The band's comeback is not being presented as a nostalgia trip, but as the start of a new phase. According to the press release, Bluvertigo intend to put back into circulation an imagery that, over time, has anticipated languages and influenced generations, reaffirming a vision that remains relevant today. This approach is also summed up by the concert poster, built on pixels, geometric shapes and stylised representations of noise: a mechanical aesthetic run through with the idea of humanity, where identity resists patterns and codes, and the heartbeat, reduced to an intermittent signal, keeps shining through beyond the system. A statement of intent made explicit by the slogan: "We're not content creators. We are signal disturbers".
