Ditonellapiaga live @Effetto VeneziaDitonellapiaga live @Effetto Venezia

On Saturday, August 1st, the evening will face head-on the vulnerabilities, inner conflicts, and redemption of the contemporary youth world. The first moment of the evening on the main stage, at 9:15 PM, will be entirely dedicated to thematic discussion and social commitment, focusing on the fight against bullying and cyberbullying. Grazia Di Michele will lead a transgenerational dialogue with the extraordinary participation of the Mayor of Livorno, Luca Salvetti, alongside two exceptional guests: Teresa Manes—teacher, civil activist awarded the honor of Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 2022 for her tireless commitment in schools, mother of Andrea Spezzacatena, who committed suicide in 2012 after being a victim of cyberbullying— who will present the book reissued in 2025 “Andrea – beyond the boy in pink pants” (Fabbri Editori); and the very young and multi-award-winning actor Samuele Carrino (class of 2009, revelation of the year at the Nastri d’Argento), who portrayed Andrea with great sensitivity both in the highest-grossing film of 2024 and in the recent and eponymous musical adaptation debuted at the Teatro Sistina.

At 10:00 PM on the stage of Piazza del Luogo Pio, the sound vibrations of DITONELLAPIAGA, the pseudonym of Margherita Carducci, will resonate. The artist will bring one of the stops of her new summer tour to Effetto Venezia, following the sensational success at the 76th edition of the Sanremo Festival in 2026, where she won third place with the song “What a bother!” (absolute dominator of the EarOne Airplay charts with nearly 400 million streams). The live performance will be the ideal occasion to listen to the songs of her brand-new record project “Miss Italia”, released on April 10 by BMG/Dischi Belli, an album born to explore the complex relationship with aesthetic standards and the perception of others. Already winner of the Targa Tenco for the best debut with “Camouflage”, Ditonellapiaga will guide the square in a night of dancing thanks to her unmistakable chameleonic style that blends biting irony with refined electro-dance and pop-dance sounds.
