La Spezia Estate Festival - Stefano Fresi in "CETRA… UNA VOLTA"

Fornari writes in the director's notes: "Do you know Quartetto Cetra?" If you ask a twenty-year-old, they'll shake their head with a slightly sad emoticon. But just hum "Nella vecchia fattoria..." and with eyes lit up as if returning to childhood, they'll respond, "ia... ia... ò!" That's the magic of Cetra, they are a part of your life even if you don't realize it. Their musical legacy doesn't need to be acknowledged; it just exists. They've become ingrained in the DNA of a nation, accompanying generation after generation with unforgettable songs. With them, you breathe the air of family. And it's within our own family that our love for them was born. Myself, my brother Toni, Stefano, his sister Emanuela, many years ago, we used to listen to their songs. Then Stefano, Toni, and Emanuela began to sing them, first, and then to modify them, rewrite them, reinvent them. And thus, we arrive at the essence of ONCE CETRA: not a philological account, not just the story of a group that has made history, but an act of love for what has inspired us; songs, sketches, musical parodies, gags, and above all, lightness, fun, and love for our craft.
