Cthe consensus is growing for Romito, the Neapolitan band that after having passed the selections of Sanremo Rock 2020 representing Campania, obtains two extraordinary results that confirm the quality of the proposal: it is among the ten admitted to the final of the 6th edition of the National Music Against the Mafia Award, which will be held at the Morelli Theater in Cosenza on December 7 and 30; it is among the XNUMX names that access the semi-finals of the XNUMXth Edition of the Fabrizio De André Award and will therefore participate in the second live selection phase.

During the finals in December the on-stage judges will be Roy Paci, Picciotto and Serena Brancale who, together with the public, a demoscopic jury and one of voters through a live social broadcast, will decree the winners of the competition that aims to enhance socially engaged music. The finals will be hosted by Filippo Roma (Le Iene).
