Gianna Nannini    /    Pierluigi Battista

 

Gianna Nannini. First and foremost a rock singer, but also a writer, artists and activist, Gianna Nannini is at the peak of a career that began at a very young age at the conservatoire in Siena. From her first album Gianna Nannini (1975) to the present, the rock star has undertaken a long artistic journey during which she has worked with the leading names in Italian and international music. A constant presence at all important occasions of civic commitment, she has sung against nuclear power and in favour of immigrants, the Abruzzo earthquake victims and Greenpeace. She has just completed her Io e te tour 2011.

ContemporaneaMente will then return in the autumn. Future guests will include Andrea Camilleri, Ascanio Celestini, Antonio Pappano and Carlo Verdone.

ContemporaneaMente is a MAXXI project realised in partnership with Euro Forum Comunicazione and with the support of Gruppo Ars Medica.
