Sanremo Story: Giorgio Faletti – Signor Tenente

Last week we talked at length about the new edition of the Festival of Sanremo; today we’ll get a closer look at the 1994 edition when Aleandro Baldi won with a beautiful song called Passerà or It Will Pass.
It was an extraordinary year, many great artists were present at the event; Laura Pausini sang Strani Amori or Strange Loves, Giorgia gave an amazing performance of “E Poi” or And then and Michele Zarillo enchanted the audience with Cinque Giorni, one of his greatest hits ever! 1994 also saw the last performance of Alessandro Bono who would die only a few months later from Aids-related complications.

But there was a song called Signor Tenente or Lieutenant that really stood out from the rest; a song dedicated to two important Italian judges assassinated by the Mafia.
Here’s the video of the song performed by actor/writer Giorgio Faletti.
