- 18:43Il potere delle piccole azioni | Eugenio Cesaro | TEDxPollicaEugenio Cesaro, voce degli Eugenio in Via di Gioia, racconta come una passione personale possa trasformarsi in un movimento collettivo. Dalle canzoni di strada ai progetti ambientali, fino alla scritta “Ti amo ancora” comparsa in Piazza San Carlo, il suo racconto mostra come la bellezza e la creatività possano diventare strumenti di cambiamento. Un invito a credere che ogni piccolo gesto, unito a quello degli altri, può davvero generare un’onda capace di cambiare il mondo. Nasce piangendo nel 1991 e rinasce cantautore nel 2011, suona per strada e per strada trova ispirazione per gran parte dei testi. Costante di tutte le canzoni un realismo autoironico che legge con amara allegria i nostri tempi. Dal 2012 canta i propri brani nel gruppo Eugenio in Via Di Gioia col quale produce 5 dischi, vince il premio alla critica “Mia Martini” alla 70° edizione del Festival di Sanremo e riceve per il singolo Altrove, contenuto nel disco Natura Viva, il certificato disco d’oro da FIMI. Collezionando più di 500 date in giro per l’Italia e l’Europa, Eugenio nel mentre si è laureato al Politecnico di Torino in eco-design, da sempre è appassionato di comunicazione, sostenibilità, scacchi e calcetto. Spesso con gli Eugenio in Via Di Gioia le canzoni diventano azioni e grazie al supporto costante dei propri fan si riesce a portare avanti eccezionali progetti cooperativi e collaborativi.
