Sandro Presta sings Franco Califano live in Barletta - Dinner show
Lido Spiaggia Verde
Sandro Presta
My passion for Maestro Franco Califano began when I was a boy.
From the early years of my adolescence, I chose to listen to his way of singing about life, love, and everyday realities, told and performed masterfully.
Whenever I could, I followed him, attending his concerts. He was a fantastic man who never denied his fans; it felt like we had been friends forever. The day I learned of his passing, I felt deep discomfort, the same feeling you get when a family member passes away.
My reality was shaken by an inexplicable dream I had a few months after his death. He appeared to me looking tired and somewhat resigned, pointing to a drawer in his desk and telling me, "never let it close," then a specific phrase, "You can help me, there is a piece of the most beautiful Italian music history in there, and don't forget 'Bimba mia...'"
The day after, I called a friend and asked him to accompany me to a place where you could sing. My request was to perform to the song "Bimba mia"!!!! It was an unexpected success, and many cheered, shouting, "Your voice reminds us of the 'Califfo'!"
I strongly wanted to be accompanied by a band, and not knowing anything about the music world, I decided to post an ad on Facebook, "Looking for musicians for events in tribute to Franco Califano."
Around the same time, singer Roberto Ciotti passed away, and by coincidence, his drummer, Valter Detond, responded to my request and came to our first meeting with other internationally renowned musicians... you can imagine I found myself speaking with them feeling like an alien... but my determination and charisma captured their attention...
This is how my journey began, which day by day, with passion and dedication, made me an impromptu singer. Though I don't know tonalities, notes, or timing, I found myself projected onto important stages to pay tribute to this Immense Poet with respect and an exceptional Band... whose name originates from a word in the song "Un tempo piccolo," specifically "TELANONIMA."
I presented my first original piece in November 2017, 'N giorno de vita
Written by Maestro Pino Marcucci
Recently, as if by magic, I participated in Alvaro Vitali's latest film "Supposte"
And another one with the skilled and professional director "Stefano Calvagna" titled Cattivi&Cattivi.
And again with director Michele Condi in the film "La tomba di Evan."
And again in 2018 with director Stefano Cavagna in "Baby Gang"
Also, this year, I received a leading role by Andrea Pierini "Pronto a Tutto"
The first two will be released this year in cinemas, the other still sees some indecision between cinema and TV.
The year 2020 ended beautifully
With my participation in the role of Count Giangirolamo d'Aragona II (IL GUERCIO) in Michele Placido's film
L'ombra di Caravaggio
In the cast, Riccardo Scamarcio played the role of Caravaggio.
On September 11, 2021, I received my first award in art.
I'd like to clarify that my vocal timbre is not an artificial imitation but my natural voice...
