Edoardo Bennato in concert at the Belvedere of San Leucio in Caserta

Edoardo Bennato, Thursday 29 June, at the Belvedere di San Leucio in Caserta, as part of the eighth edition of the festival directed by Massimo Vecchione, scheduled from 10 June to 20 September 2023. The Un'Estate da BelvedeRE festival is organized by Lwr Srl with the artistic supervision of Ventidieci, in partnership with the Municipality of Caserta. Tickets for the Edoardo Bennato show at the Belvedere di San Leucio are already available on the official Ticketone and Go2 circuits.

The storyteller who for forty years has immortalized today's world with his songs, made of good and bad, mocking the powerful, praising the human strength of ordinary people, without ever forgetting the most classic of the inspiring feelings of every Artist: Love, is back. Edoardo Bennato returns live with a concert with a high Rock & Blues content, proposing his most famous songs and a selection of new songs from his latest album 'Non c'è'. Two hours of music, engaging videos and interaction with the public, for an event to be experienced from start to finish. An emotional experience with the songs and melodies that have become part of our collective imagination that will be difficult to resist; to rediscover, through the power of music, vibrations and emotions that are good for the soul. Joining him on stage will be the BeBand, the historic band that has been following him for years now.

Italian musician and singer-songwriter from Bagnoli, a suburb of Naples. After a musical experience spent in London, he began performing as a one-man-band playing simultaneously the guitar, the kazoo and the pedal drum, producing his own and original musical trend directly influenced by the great names of blues and rock – such as Neil Sedaka, Paul Anka, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and Elvis Presley – and contaminated by accents typical of Mediterranean music.
His debut album was Non farsi caduta le braccia, released in 1973; in 1977 with the album Burattino senza fili he became the first Italian artist to make video clips and later, thanks to a triumphal tour around Italy, he became the first national singer to score the 80 thousand spectators in the famous San Siro stadium in Milan; an event that will lead him to cross the Italian borders with the first European tour.

Among the countless successes we recall in this short biography the official song of the 1990 Football World Cup, Un'estate italiana, sung together with Gianna Nannini; a song that remained in the hit parades for 4 months.

In 2007 he signed the soundtrack of the theatrical musical Peter Pan in the Italian version; an incredible success with the public and critics that led the singer-songwriter to produce an English version of the famous songs from the album Sono solo canzonette, thus planning a new theatrical version in English.

In 2010, two albums were released: a completely new LP entitled Le vie del rock sono infinite, in which it is possible to find the artist's unpredictability and keen observational gaze, and MTV Storytellers, a collection of the best-known hits but also of new songs rearranged and sung together with artists such as Morgan, Roy Paci, Giuliano Palma & The Bluebeaters, and Finley.
At the end of October 2015, Pronti a salpare was released, 14 unreleased songs that manage to photograph with sarcasm and irony the society we live in. The song that gives the album its title won the Amnesty International award in 2016.

Today, with 28 albums under his belt, Edoardo Bennato is still in full creative phase. In 2020, in the midst of lockdown, he created the song La realtà non può essere questa with his brother Eugenio, the proceeds of which went entirely to the Azienda Ospedaliera dei Colli di Napoli. In the same year, in November, his latest album Non c'è was released: eight unreleased songs and fourteen songs from his repertoire, which have made Edoardo Bennato one of the greatest artists of our music.

In 2023, on the evening dedicated to covers of the 73rd edition of the Sanremo Festival, Edoardo Bennato performed with Leo Gassmann in a medley of his songs that included the song “A cosa serve la guerra”, from the album L'uomo Occidentale (2003), and the timeless classics “L'isola che non c'è” and “Il Rock del Capitano Uncino”, from the album Sono solo canzonette, released in 1980 and which has remained in the collective memory of Italians.
