Verdena: return to social media with the first photo without Roberta Sammarelli: "Coloriamo i mostri"

02-04-2026

Five months after Roberta Sammarelli's departure, Verdena resurface, breaking their silence with a minimal but meaningful gesture. A black-and-white image appears on Instagram: front and centre, just the brothers Alberto Ferrari and Luca Ferrari, accompanied by an enigmatic phrase, Let's color the monsters. A fragment rather than an announcement, yet enough to instantly reignite attention around the band from Bergamo. In the comments, some call for a new album, others declare themselves ready for whatever creative turn comes next — a sign that their bond with the audience remains intact despite the absence.

Sammarelli's departure, made official last October after a decision reached at the end of the 2023 tour, closed a chapter spanning nearly thirty years. A clean break, which coincided with the musician joining the Si! Boom! Voilà project and with the Ferrari brothers' stated intention to carry on in a new configuration.

Since then, no concrete signal until now. The last release remains “Volevo magia”, out in 2022, a work that had already shown a band in the midst of transformation.

If "Coloriamo i mostri" is more than just a hint, the next real test will inevitably be the stage: the place to gauge how solid this new identity is and to measure the response of an audience that, for now at least, never seems to have stopped waiting.
