Lucio Corsi - Volevo essere un duro

Difficulty: Intermediate

Italy

In his debut at Sanremo, Lucio Corsi paints an ironic self-portrait in which a mother's advice clashes with the disillusionment of real life. “I wanted to be a tough guy,” he says in the title, but he realizes he is fragile like so many others: "How hard the world is for normal people." The video presents the song in the context of the singer-songwriter as a kid bringing home a very bad report card. Fun fact: Lucio Corsi played a San Remo contestant in the TV series Vita da Carlo 3 (Life as Carlo). He will represent Italy to Eurovision Song Contest 2025.
