Maurizio Costanzo left us yesterday. Such a familiar face and voice in italian television.

You know I went absolutely crazy when Harry started singing a couple of times “Se telefonando” during HSLOT last year. Here I am yet again bringing this song back.

Maurizio Costanzo wrote the lyrics to one of the most iconic songs in our culture and nonetheless Ennio Morricone (yes, yes, the same Morricone Harry was watching the documentary about and shared the story on ig? That one) arranged the melody. This is Mina performing the song. The only live performance of Se telefonando by Mina ever. What a trio. Anyway I am a bit sad after yesterday, because we keep losing these majestic people who were part of our families basically everyday you know? And they leave huge empty spaces… looking at the scene right now nobody is gonna fit in their shoes.

I hope Maurizio can eat all the candies and ice cream he wants now, without Maria hiding it in the highest kitchen counters ❣️

#sometimes you got to spread some international culture in this fandom #otherwise it’s just american ones with random british spots #with fair but still it can be a bit alienating if that makes sense #anyway it’s hard to imagine how incredible this song is #like it basically contains the best products of Italian entertainment world #tv music and cinema!#but also.. Maurizio was a fucking legend for other reasons too #the fucking mafia attempt to kill him too because he brought up the mafia issue on television #seems like something small but it’s NOT #even saviano (u can like him or not) thanked him for that because - and i quote-#‘without costanzo’s light in those years I would have ever seen learn and understood (how important is to speak up)’#against criminal organisations #uff im sad 😔#mina mazzini #ennio morricone #maurizio costanzo
