Parola ai giovani is a journey, Giovanni Caccamo’s personal investigation of his generation’s thoughts on change, in a continuum with the singer-songwriter’s new album, Parola, in which he relaunched an appeal by novelist Andrea Camilleri, who asked young people to devise a humanism based on words. Through fifteen symposia at universities and an online competition, Caccamo asked all young Italians this question: What would you change about the society you live in, and how?” Over nine-hundred of them wrote back with their answers. And fifteen of these young people, who penned the most brilliant replies, were invited to take part in a performance called Agorà del cambiamento, held in Raphael’s Room of the Signatura in the Vatican Museums, to talk about change and the future.
