Cristiano De André performs tribute to Fabrizio De André in Asiago

Cristiano De André performed his “De André canta De André Best of Tour 2026” in Asiago, revisiting the musical legacy of his father, Fabrizio De André, 27 years after the singer's death. The concert, part of the Asiago Live festival, featured musical arrangements that blend the late singer's poetic themes of politics, love, and war with Cristiano's own instrumental versatility on piano, violin, and guitar.

The event sparked political debate following the presence of Matteo Salvini in the front row. Alice De André, granddaughter of the late singer, responded to the controversy on social media. She questioned the presence of the political leader at a tribute to her grandfather, suggesting that celebrating De André's music while ignoring his libertarian and social political roots risks “sterilizing” his original message and thought.
