MARLENA
Rome, 2021
Today, I feel a little more energetic than other days, I even came out of my bed and ate a decent breakfast. The morning sunbeams are shining through the curtains, so I open them, and then I see the birds in my neighbors cherry tree chirping happily. All in all, I am happy as well. I don't know what this day will bring me yet but I need to use my good mood for the better.
It's still early I put on the television, wanting to know what's going on in the world. I first zap through some channels as I'm not in the mood to watch Immagini invernali (Winter images) or the umpteenth rebroadcast of an old soap. Then a channel catches my eye as I see some familiar faces filling my whole screen, a special interview is shown on there:
Måneskin will come to Italy after their stay in Russia, the band declared this yesterday evening. There are here with us now. Singer and frontman Damiano David explains: "We're excited to visit our home country for a while. All the touring is marvelous and the European fans are amazing, but it makes us missing our home and folks," at which guitarist Thomas Raggi, bassist Victoria De Angelis and drummer Ethan Torchio nod in agreement.
De Angelis adds: "We will take some time for ourselves at first, but now we'd like to make a thrilling announcement. We will be performing for our own people in a week," she says with a big smile on her face. What a piece of amazing news! "But," Raggi interrupts, "the show won't just be anywhere. We'll be keeping the location a secret and will give hints to our beloved fans on social media and in other ways to make this a fun game to engage our public!"
Torchio smiles politely and says: "The clues will be starting from now on! An important side note my friends forgot to tell you is that the venue will only allow 100 people. So, this show will be super limited yet we'll make it extra special because our fans might need to be a little hardcore to get in. We'll give them a glorious reward for their efforts."
So, to all the fans of Måneskin, stay tuned, and may the best fans win!
After their announcement, all social media goes nuts. Even people outside Italy are sharing this and posting about it, so there presumably will be people from all around Europe who are wanting to fly to Italy for this. Although I hope the band will make this easier for us, since this is one of the few times they'll be around and Italy still is huge, at this moment I have no clue about where this venue may be.
I feel like this may be a turning point for me, maybe it's a gigantic step forward but I've been taking baby steps for way too long now. So I put my Instagram notifications on, I already followed the whole band although it hurt me sometimes to look at their photos because it constantly reminded me that I miss being with them. But for now, I might try to make an effort. Once again a sad wave hits me that they didn't even think about messaging me personally that they'll be in the country, but I can understand it because I haven't even wished them congratulations on their music and victories. It also has been such a long time, yet I feel ready to play this game and earn it to meet them again. Chances are meager because as I said before, I'm not calling myself a "fan" and I know there are many crazy superfans walking around here who would commit murder or sell their organs to go and meet the band.
