Giuliano Sangiorgi, leader of Negramaro, received the prestigious "Musicante Award - Premio Pino Daniele" during the band's concert at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples. The award, presented by Alessandro Daniele, president of the Pino Daniele ETS Foundation, celebrates the 40th anniversary of the album "Pino Daniele Musicante" and recognizes Sangiorgi as the first recipient of this special recognition.
### The Dedication to Pino Daniele
Alessandro Daniele emphasized the symbolic importance of the award, presenting Sangiorgi with a guitar as a token of appreciation. During the concert, Giuliano Sangiorgi paid tribute to Pino Daniele by inviting Alessandra Tumolillo, a young singer and guitarist supported by the Foundation, to the stage to perform "Napule è." The performance transformed the stadium into a blaze of voices and lights, paying homage to the musical legacy of the "Latin rascal."
### Young Talents on Stage
The evening also featured young talents from the Pop Rock courses at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Music in Milan. Sponsored by the Pino Daniele ETS Foundation, these artists had the honor of performing as the opening act and will return on June 22nd at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. The group includes musicians, singers, and students from various musical disciplines, all directed by Fabrizio Bianco, professor of pop rock composition at the Milan Conservatory.
