ANSA) - GIFFONI (SALERNO), 22 JUL - “A Beethoven lacks rhythm. Jovanotti possesses that.” It was a sacrilegious and hypnotic Giovanni Allevi who spoke today to the jurors of the Giffoni Film Festival. “With Jovanotti, I learned rhythm.”

“I cannot enter many Italian Conservatories - he added - I am sorry to sometimes receive protests from the students who attend them, I am sorry to know that I will not be able to cross their doors, but I know that the important thing is to reach people's hearts.”

I know there is a desire to play darts at his photo....but seriously, what do you think?

Rhythm is too vague a word... free advertising...

Perhaps they mean that young people lack falling in love with classical music precisely because it lacks rhythm...

But I don't think that's the case ... are we joking?

I hadn't heard this one yet ...

Listening to what this character is saying, a question occurs to me spontaneously:

what is the difference between intelligence and stupidity?

The latter never ends!

Allevi has become an inescapable evil. He says something stupid and all the newspapers report it. Good for him, but shame on the Giffoni Festival and other Festivals and Theaters in Italy that spend my tax money to give a microphone to this arrogant sociopath

But that way you are encouraging them. It wasn't news worthy of being reported here.

Look, I agree with Ismaele.

I don't want to run the risk of finding myself, as in the other forum, in countless topics where Allevi was the protagonist.

Frankly, I don't care at all about what Allevi says or does.

You have already been at the Verdi [Conservatory] for too long, I would say...... in truth he can cross those doors..... but it would take a few names.... ahahahahah I won't even comment on the last part..... I heard that after one of his albums he fell into depression and didn't write even a single note for 2 years..... it's a pity, but he has started again....
