Simone Cristicchi in Paestum with "From Darkness to Light": a journey through music, poetry, and theater.

As part of the Musica e Parole 2025 festival, Simone Cristicchi will perform live on Monday, August 11th, at the Paestum & Velia Archaeological Park in Capaccio-Paestum (Salerno). The live performance will be at 9:00 PM. Following the success of his Franciscus theater tour and the acclaim at the Sanremo Music Festival 2025 with "Quando sarai piccola"—a song that won him the Bigazzi Prize for Best Composition and the Lucio Dalla Press Room Award—Simone Cristicchi returns to enchant audiences with his new live project: Dalle Tenebre alla Luce – Summer Tour 2025. This elegant and surprising concert defies definition, showcasing the eclecticism of an artist who inhabits music, poetry, and theater with extraordinary ease. On stage, Cristicchi reveals himself in all his essence: a singer-actor, a poet of the spoken word, and a sensitive performer, capable of moving between different registers with the mastery that has made him a unique figure in the Italian artistic scene. The show will be a journey through the most significant moments of his career: from the early days of Fabbricante di canzoni, which established his talent, to the thematic depths of his latest concept album, Dalle tenebre alla luce (From Darkness to Light). A musical tale in which irony and melancholy, lightheartedness and introspection alternate, transporting the audience into an intense and authentic emotional experience. The evening will be enhanced by the collaboration with the Gnu Quartet, an ensemble with a refined and unpredictable timbre, who, combined with Cristicchi's historic band, will create an unmistakable stylistic signature. A meeting of the delicacy of chamber music and the energy of rock, a perfect balance between elegance and experimentation. Through poetry, sound, and storytelling, Cristicchi Live 2025 will be an unmissable opportunity to witness the magic of an artist who transforms every concert into a profound and intense experience, giving voice to the beauty of emotions and the depth of the stories that inhabit us all.
