This is an ancient roman arena in the northern Italian city of Verona. It's a bit smaller than the Roman one but still fairly intact and very much used for many events. It was empty here due to the Italian corona virus lockdown at this time last year.
This was basically the soundtrack of the first lockdown in Italy, right after the pandemic break through. The empty arena is a sign of the time we're living in
What still gives me chills is that the chorus says “make some noise here, because I can’t stand this unnatural silence between you and me” and at the end it also says “and I can’t stand to be without that beautiful noise you make anymore” and he sang this in a completely deserted arena, no noise from the public, and it really hit it all home that the contact between people was missing. Which is why the performance at ESC the next year was so cathartic, because it also started this way but then the audience was singing along and the dancers were all around him, holding him like it meant we could all finally be around each other again. It makes me cry every time. I always watch this performance, and then the one with the public and dancers. It just hits so good.
With this song Diodato won the Sanremo Festival 2020. During the festival week usually you can hardly get away from news of it, all media are focused on that. It wsa the same in 2020, February. And then, when the festival buzz subsided, we suddenly woke up to Covid, and everything went down from there. So Italy was locked down, the streets were empty, the cities were deserted, and there was such an unnatural silence in the air that this song could not have been more fitting at any other time. Funny thing, Sanremo 2020, winner: Diodato with "Fai Rumore" ("make noise"). Sanremo 2021, winner: Maneskin with "Zitti e buoni" ("shut up and be good").
And here is the translation: English translation You know what I think? That I shouldn’t be thinking, that if I think about it then, I’m an animal and if I think about you, you’re a soul But maybe it’s this storm that brings me to you And I know I shouldn’t be found without an umbrella, even though I realized that as far as I run away I always come back to you Who make noise, here and I don’t know if it’s good for me if your noise suits me But you make noise, yes and I can’t stand this unnatural silence between you and me And I’m walking without talking with nowhere to go I’m wearing down my shoes and perhaps my shoes know where to go That I find myself in the same places again, exactly those places that I should have avoided and I pretend I don’t remember and I pretend to forget But I realize that as far as I run away I always come back to you Who make noise, here and I don’t know if it’s good for me if your noise suits me But you make noise, yes and I can’t stand this unnatural silence between you and me But you make noise, yes and I can’t stand this unnatural silence And now I don’t want to do without that beautiful noise you make
So emotional,Italy was in a terribileockdown for covid,the first country hit.The song is so beatiful too. Ciao Diodato,complimenti r un abbraccio da Napoli.
This was supposed to be Italy's entry for Eurovision 2020... instead it became one of the symbols of the first lockdown due to the pandemic in Italy. He still got a stage to perform on... the Arena di Verona, empty and illuminated by lights in the colors of the Italian flag and EU flag. You can actually find videos of Italian people singing this from their balconies, all together, their voices breaking the silence of the city. The empty streets, the quiet city, just felt so unnatural. ❤❤❤
He's a great performer, the song is a classic Sanremo ballad but still really original, catchy, with meaningful lyrics. This song is the first single from a great album too!
Thanks for your great opinion about this song, i new you would like it. I think this might have been the winner of the 2020 festival, i instantly fell in love with his voice and songs and play them frequently although i don't understand Italian, but it's the way he brings over his emotion in the song.
This is a real colloquium in Verona ..i been there 3 times inside because my favorite vacation location is only 15 minutes from this city ... Lake Garda in Italy. Almost all big world super stars preformed there like Bon Jovi but also Andrea Bocceli and Laura Pausini .. But also Tina Turner ect ect .. Its a real top location. 👊 i wanted to go to Andrea 4 years ago but the tickets cost 350 euro's thats 450 us dollar for 1 ticket. That whas to much also for me but it whas sold out. 🙈🙈😜
The Keystone Channel, Thank you for giving me the knowledge about the place he is performing it is magnificent most definitely! I am sure it had the best acoustics as well. I appreciate you!! We miss all miss you in the discord. Thank you for all the love and positivity that you bring with you. Much love
@@TheKeystoneChannel Actually, the name Colosseum refers only to the Amphitheatre Flavium (in Rome), not to all amphiteathres, because in ancient time there was (near by the Amphitheatre Flavium) a 30-metre (98 ft) bronze statue built in honor of Emperor Nero, called Colossus of Nero. The statue sometime later (around 4th century AD) disappeared or was destroyed but the name Colosseum rimaned to the Amph. Flavium, because it was huge. So, it's not correct to call the Arena (or Amphiteatre) of Verona ''the colosseum''
This is not a proper stadium, it's an Arena, build by romans 2000 years ago to host their shows... And two tousands years later we still use it for our shows, concerts, operas...
After reacting to the whole ESC2019 show (a 6,5 hours reaction for a 4 hour show hehe) together with Simple Reacts, he said they're talking about reacting to the whole ESC 2021 show. Let's go for that one in stead of a single performance ;-)
I am Italian and I get emotional every time I see this performance by Diodato, so full of meaning of what we were experiencing in that lockdown!

Aaaand the Colosseo in Rome cannot accually host any kind of event, it can only be visited.
La mia città
It is a chinese invented virus.
@@victorfries8859 true. Unfortunately. The one in Croatia looks so cool hosting events
This was the soundtrack of Italy's very first lockdown. It was heartbreaking watching the Arena di Verona empty, and the sorrounding streets too.
This was basically the soundtrack of the first lockdown in Italy, right after the pandemic break through. The empty arena is a sign of the time we're living in
The acoustics are perfect and had the contest not been cancelled, he would have won.
La mia Italia ❤️il paese più bello del mondo
Peccato che siamo comandati da certa gente che si cala le braghe e si mette a 90 per soldi!!!!
Orgoglio tarantino

Amazing and emotional, if consider even, the period of this performance live, namely, the first lockdown in Italy.❤️🇮🇹😭
And here is the translation: English translation
You know what I think?
That I shouldn’t be thinking,
that if I think about it then, I’m an animal
and if I think about you, you’re a soul
But maybe it’s this storm
that brings me to you
And I know I shouldn’t be found
without an umbrella, even though
I realized that
as far as I run away
I always come back to you
Who make noise, here
and I don’t know if it’s good for me
if your noise suits me
But you make noise, yes
and I can’t stand
this unnatural silence between you and me
And I’m walking without talking
with nowhere to go
I’m wearing down my shoes
and perhaps my shoes
know where to go
That I find myself in the same places again,
exactly those places that I should have avoided
and I pretend I don’t remember
and I pretend to forget
But I realize that
as far as I run away
I always come back to you
Who make noise, here
and I don’t know if it’s good for me
if your noise suits me
But you make noise, yes
and I can’t stand
this unnatural silence between you and me
But you make noise, yes
and I can’t stand
this unnatural silence
And now I don’t want to do without
that beautiful noise you make
Thanks for the translation.
Questo silenzio innaturale.... questa voce arriva nell'anima. 2020... impossibile dimenticare.
Davvero, impossibile.
Ascolta la canzone e ho brividi e groppo alla gola

Quando sento questa canzone torno a quei momenti chiusi in casa. Mi commuovo tanto , poi la canzone è bellissima . Avrebbe vinto.
“You make noise cause I cannot stand this unnatural silence” he sang this during Italian total lockdown
I so wanted someone to make a reaction to this performance. I just cry from this song. Thanks.♥️♥️♥️
What a great voice.
One the best song, in the eurovision, my winner, maldito covid...
Diodato, beautiful, great artist. A real Artist
It was during the first lockdown here in Italy. The song, the lyrics, the empty arena….all so moving 🙏❤️
He's a great performer, the song is a classic Sanremo ballad but still really original, catchy, with meaningful lyrics. This song is the first single from a great album too!
Magnifico Mozzafiato! Un dolore che ho, e non passa, e speri che il tempo lo esorcizzi ma lui fa sempre piu' RUMORE ! ma e' solo il mio dolore.
Diodato its a poet,advice " CHE VITA MERAVIGLIOSA" excellence!!!!!♥️
Que lindaaa 😥😥 hubiera sido una de las ganadoras del certamen de eurovision

@@HighlyCombustibleReacts I lived in Italy and been there, it's literally colossal , hence the names " colosseum"

Without covid Italy could win also that ESC edition.

Comunque l'Italia è bellissima !
🤣si!! ...più della Francia 🤭🤭🤭🤭
The name "Diodato" means "Given by God" in Italian
This was shot when we were coming out of the first hard lockdown
❤
si uno stadio di 2000 anni.
❤️🇮🇹
