Teresa Reale and Marco Trullu

If the sea of Livorno has always been an tireless generator of stories and an open crossroad of souls, the night of venerdì 31 luglio transforms the Main Stage of Piazza del Luogo Pio into the natural landing place of a dialogue between generations that moves to the rhythm of the wind and words. Within the main theme of the 41st edition of Effetto Venezia, “Near Future – Ideas and stories of the new generations”, urban culture and great interpretative tradition merge to demonstrate how music is a continuous flow, capable of overcoming any temporal barrier and resonating with the same primordial force with which the tide beats on the port quays.

21.15 – The generational bridge of The Voice: Grazia Di Michele meets Maria Teresa Reale and Matteo Trullu

Opening the evening’s programming will be a suggestive cultural and musical prologue curated directly by the singer-songwriter Grazia Di Michele, for the third consecutive year as artistic director of the festival. On the main stage, a true transgenerational bridge will materialize through the talk that will see the joint performance of two talents, united by the same television destiny but expression of wonderfully distant life seasons: the winner of The Voice Senior 3 and the very young protagonist of The Voice Kids.

• Maria Teresa Reale: Singer, pianist, music therapist and singing teacher graduated from the Conservatory of Frosinone in 1989 under the guidance of Annamaria Rota, she has a solid international concert activity. Consecrated to the large television audience of Rai 1 thanks to the triumphant victory at The Voice Senior 3, she has released significant singles such as “Mother” (Universal Music) and “I’ll tell you now”, as well as lent her experience as a vocal coach for historic Rai shows such as I leave you a song and Prodigies.
• Matteo Trullu: A real prodigy of pop-rock, he began singing at just 4 years old in the Piccolo Coro di San Sperate. An early multi-instrumentalist (he studied electric guitar at 6, modern singing at 7, piano and drums at 11), he passed the conservatory admission at 12 and collected a string of first prizes including the Galtellì Festival, the Stintino Guitar Contest, the Notes in Radio and the final victory at Outstanding Talent 2025. His journey led him to win The Voice Kids 4 working alongside professionals like Nek.

The two artists will tell their stories to Grazia Di Michele in an intimate conversation that will focus on their shared and visceral passion for music, culminating in a shared performance on the Main Stage.
