The song is littered with musical quotations from other famous songs, including Rita Pavone's \u201cLa partita di pallone,\u201d Cochi and Renato's \u201cE la vita, la vita,\u201d and Ennio Morricone's World Cup theme song from Argentina. Complete with mentions of Ligurian soccer teams playing in the top leagues, opening whistle and triple final whistle. This is an important year for Buio Pesto, who are celebrating 20 years in Ligurian dialect (Belinlandia, their first album in dialect, was released on June 10, 1995), but also their entry, for the first time, into the Italian iTunes digital pop music sales chart, with the song \u201cIo e Te.\u201d Released by Rusty Records and distributed by Believe Digital, the song reached the 25th position, 15th overall among Italians. The band in September aims to break the world record for the longest song in the world with a song that will last two hours (the song that currently holds the title lasts one hour and thirty minutes). The official entry in the \u201cGuinness World Records\u201d has already been accepted and a public event will be organized in Genoa to present the certificate once the record is broken.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The evening is at <strong>FREE ADMISSION.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE (06\/19\/2015) On Sunday, June 21, at 9 p.m. in the Giardino del Principe Summer Arena, Buio Pesto's summer tour will open: the \u201cBallon Tour.\u201d The evening, organized with the...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.visitloano.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
