now it just needs to be filled with contents.
here the link to the page Marco Polo Back To Back Tour Germany - 2026

12 July 26
Since arriving in Germany, it’s been a whirlwind of concerts, tour dates, and rehearsals,
a truly intense past month.
During this time, I’ve been tweaking both my guitar pedals setup and some of my actual tones.
I’ll be taking the new Marco Polo Eko Guitar out on the tour I’m starting in Northern Germany in a couple of weeks.
Whenever I have a moment, I’m also trying to keep working on the new single, "Se Follia Non C'è," which still needs a few mix adjustments.
If you get the chance, come by one of the upcoming shows, you’ll be able to hear what’s new! ;-)
(here me with my new Eko Guitar)



11 July 26
As I was driving home...
I was thinking that one of the best things nowadays is telling stories to my kids at bedtime...
I've made up so many and they pick one every night
How times have changed since the days when I used to go clubbing all the time...



10 July 26
That’s great!
We’ve got the green light from our partner Koech (a bike shop in Ratzeburg)!
It’s going to supply me the bike for the "Marco Polo Back-to-Back" Tour, which starts at the end of the month!!
That was the last partner we were looking for and it is a cool second time with Koech, which also provided the bike for the "Not Only A Currency" Tour in 2020, which took me 6,125 km across Europe.
I saw and tested the bicycle, it's very cool !
soon pictures of it



7 July 26
Honestly, this Football World Cup is pathetic.
The hydration break was created solely for advertising purposes and undermines the very foundation of the game.. namely, playing two consecutive 45-minute halves without a pause.
It is unacceptable for Trump to call Infantino and for the latter to allow a suspended American player to take part in the match against Belgium.
It was a total robbery to see Egypt's second goal against Argentina disallowed and the same foul committed by Argentina inside its the penalty area completely ignored by VAR and the referee.
It was wrong not to stop the play that led to England's equalizer against Norway... the ball had hit the camera cable (and no one wanted to check VAR).
The whole thing is absurd, a massive sham and the people orchestrating this are shameless.
It is revolting.



5 July 26
and to think the American president wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Let's hope winds of change will arrive soon.
We've had enough of all these wars and tensions.
Amidst all this, Europe seems to be making decisions that are senseless.
Europe was born from a wonderful idea, but now it has become a trap for member states, which can no longer make independent decisions and those who do make the decisions often act against the interests of Europeans themselves.
it seems absurd to me and not nice to observe it day after day



1 July 26

23 April 26
What a strange day.
I had just picked up the bike from the bike shop for a final check before the tour.
Before dinner, I decided to take a ride on the hills of Bologna just to get my legs moving. When I got back, I noticed that the rear wheel was very, very flat. This was all very weird.
Since I had to get up very early the next morning and didn't have time to take the bike in for another check-up, I decided to check if there was a hole or not.
When I pulled the rear wheel off, I hurt my fingers on my left hand, which were bleeding.
I took the wheel off and tested the inner tube. I didn't see any holes. I put everything back together. But since the rear brakes were new (replaced that very same day), I had to take them off too to re-align the wheel. Reassemble the brakes and test the bike.
Before going to bed, I had the bad idea to ​​check Gmail and I read a couple of emails I had to replied to... and I didn't like them at all.
So, I went to bed very, very late and I definitely didn't get any sleep before 3:30 am.
I got up, checked if the rear tire had held its pressure, yes it was fine, and finally, around 4:00 am, I was asleep.
The next morning, my alarm was set for 6:20 am 



21 April 26

I never thought I'd be able to play in -2 degrees Celsius.
and yet, yes ;-)
I was scheduled from 8 to 9 PM in Piazza Maggiore (Bologna), and it happened.
few people, but also very little noise.. cold but scenic
being almost alone in that large square, with the lights and the winter cold..
it created a beautiful atmosphere.
Thanks to those few who stopped by, but still showed kind support
