Massimo Ranieri headlines Ferento Teatro Festival 2026

Massimo Ranieri performed his updated one‑man show “Tutti i sogni ancora in volo… e continuano a volare” at the Ferento Teatro Festival in 2026. Approximately 800 spectators attended the evening in the Roman theatre of Ferento, where the Neapolitan singer‑actor blended music, theatre and storytelling. The show featured a band including pianist Claudio Storniolo, keyboardist Giovanna Perna, bassist Francesco Puglisi, drummer Luca Trolli, percussionist Arnaldo Vacca and guitarists Andrea Pistilli and Tony Puja. Ranieri sang classic hits such as “Perdere l’amore”, “Rose rosse” and “Erba di casa mia”, as well as newer tracks like “Tra le mani un cuore” (Sanremo 2025) and “Lettera di là dal mare” (Sanremo 2022), and material from his latest self‑titled album written by notable Italian composers.

The event also revisited Ranieri’s early life, recalling his compulsory military service in Viterbo in 1972. Historical photographs of the young singer‑actor at the Viterbo Vam barracks were released, highlighting his brief enlistment, a wrist injury, and his subsequent discharge. The recollections served as a prelude to the contemporary performance, linking his past and present artistic career.
