I Sang Every Single One

Benedetta went to an Umberto Tozzi and Raf concert with her father, and she sang along to every song!
I Sang Every Single One

I just went to an Umberto Tozzi and Raf concert. Not Ron—Raf. The concert was absolutely amazing, but now I'm so tired because it didn't end until almost midnight. I love coming home late. The concert was more than amazing. I had such a good time. I sang and danced the whole time, and thank goodness I had my water bottle because I lost my voice. I got up from my seat and went to the stage and waved at Tozzi and Raf, and they waved back and started laughing. I know all of Tozzi's songs and I sang and danced to every single one. That's why I went up to them. I'm always singing and I know all the words to "Tu" and "Gloria, how I miss you in the air" and "Ti amo" with that woman ironing and "Notte rosa" and "Io camminerò" and "Stella stai"—I especially love that one when it says "scivolo scivolo scivolo scivolo scivolo" over and over and over. The most beautiful song is "Tu" when it goes "sad girl I will sing the rain so the wind comes down and calms a little the sky so it will be more blue and you will smile at me." I made up all the moves like when I do rhythmic gymnastics. At the concert people kept saying I dance so well and how do I know all of Tozzi's lyrics by heart. But I listen to the songs in the car and I practice a lot. It's so much fun. I got angry when they sang songs I didn't know. Raf is talented and cute but I didn't know his songs even though I'd already been to a Tozzi and Raf concert before. I like the ones you can dance to and the one that says "you're the most beautiful in the world" because I'd say "that's me, Benedetta!" Now I have tickets for a Baglioni concert. One thing I didn't like was the sandwich we bought at the bar where the concert was. It was gross.

Then I also had fun at a soccer match at the Lazio stadium—Pope Francis's team was playing. I walked onto the field holding the referee's hand, and the referee was Ciro Immobile. He's really handsome but he told me he's married and doesn't want to leave his wife. Too bad. There was a really big eagle and I was so scared when it moved. I cheered for everyone, and after the game I got to play soccer too—I play for AS Roma. People asked if I'd become a Lazio fan, but I don't know. I want to play with everyone else and score goals.
