Roberto Vecchioni composed \u00abChiamami ancora amore\u00bb with guitarist and producer Claudio Guidetti. Universal released the single on 16 February 2011, and it was certified gold in Italy. The title means \u201cKeep calling me love\u201d, a plea that runs through the song as an antidote to dark times.<\/p>\n<p>Three days after its release, on 19 February 2011, Vecchioni won the 61st Sanremo Festival and the Mia Martini Critics' Prize. It was only the Milanese singer-songwriter's second appearance, 38 years after his 1973 debut. \u00abChiamami ancora amore\u00bb has since been regarded as an unusually political winner in the contest's history.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card\" style=\"border: 1px solid #E3E7EC;

his family came from Naples. He studied classical literature at the Universit\u00e0 Cattolica, Milan's Catholic university, and then taught at secondary schools in Milan for almost thirty years. At the same time, he became one of Italy's most important <em>cantautori<\/em> (singer-songwriters who write and sing their own lyrics).<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, Vecchioni had appeared at Sanremo only once, in 1973 with \u00abL&#8217;uomo che si gioca il cielo a dadi\u00bb. In November 2010, it became clear that he would return; his entry was the first to be officially confirmed by the organisers. He wrote the lyrics alone and the music with Claudio Guidetti, who also produced the recording and played guitar.<\/p>\n<p>The festival ran from 15 to 19 February 2011 and was hosted by singer Gianni Morandi. Vecchioni's conductor was Peppe Vessicchio, the festival's best-known maestro. In the final, \u00abChiamami ancora amore\u00bb beat Mod\u00e0 and Emma Marrone's \u00abArriver\u00e0\u00bb and Al Bano's \u00abAmanda \u00e8 libera\u00bb. It also won the Mia Martini Critics' Prize and the music journalists' prize.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Worum_geht_es_in_%C2%ABChiamami_ancora_amore%C2%BB\"><\/span>What is \u00abChiamami ancora amore\u00bb about?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00abChiamami ancora amore\u00bb is both a love song and a protest song. Vecchioni describes a collective night in which a country forgets its culture, and a personal night of doubt. Against both, he sets the love between two people and faith in the young.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with La Repubblica, he called his work the festival's only political song. It was about students, workers and immigrants, children on boats and young soldiers in a senseless war. At the same time, it was a love song to humanism. He rejected claims that he was targeting Silvio Berlusconi or Muammar al-Gaddafi. Instead, he cited the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and a worker at carmaker Fiat as models for characters in the lyrics.<\/p>\n<p>The timing was right. In December 2010, students in Rome had protested against the government's university reform, shielding themselves with large signs shaped like books. A longtime secondary-school teacher singing about that very generation struck a chord in February 2011.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Der_Text_Strophe_fur_Strophe\"><\/span>The Lyrics, Verse by Verse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can find the full lyrics on Spotify and Apple Music; here we focus on their imagery. The verses are a long list of people who have had something taken away: a boat with children that never arrives, a poet no longer allowed to sing, a worker without work, young people dying in a war far from home. Vecchioni moves between sweeping images and small scenes.<\/p>\n<p>Night hangs over everything, the <em>notte<\/em>. It represents a time when knowledge and beauty no longer matter. The singer promises to fight this darkness, and does so in an unusual way: not with slogans, but by asking the person he loves to keep calling him <em>amore<\/em> as before.<\/p>\n<p>The chorus ties the two together. As long as two people show each other tenderness, night cannot be final. Linguist Giuseppe Antonelli praised the lyrics for defending culture and freedom of thought while remaining close to spoken Italian. Vecchioni avoids scholarly words, although he is a classical scholar, and that is precisely why everyone understands him.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-note\">\n<div class=\"inw-note-label\">GOOD TO KNOW<\/div>\n<p>After the victory was announced, conductor Peppe Vessicchio hugged the singer so tightly that he broke a rib. Vecchioni told the story in 2025 after Vessicchio's death on the La7 programme \u201cIn altre parole\u201d: he had cried on stage not from joy but from pain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wie_klingt_%C2%ABChiamami_ancora_amore%C2%BB\"><\/span>What does \u00abChiamami ancora amore\u00bb sound like?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Musically, the song takes no risks, and that is deliberate. A rock band with guitars, bass, drums and piano supports a calm melody that builds gradually and opens up in the chorus. In the studio, Claudio Guidetti and Fabio Moretti played guitar, Paolo Costa bass, Lele Melotti drums and Luca Scarpa keyboards.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly before the final, Vecchioni jokingly called the song \u201cscandalous but successful self-plagiarism\u201d on radio. The presenters had played his older song \u00abPiccolo amore\u00bb, whose melody follows a similar course. He took it with humour: the new song simply resembled some of his earlier work.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%ABChiamami_ancora_amore%C2%BB_im_Video\"><\/span>\u00abChiamami ancora amore\u00bb in the video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At the top of this article, you can watch the winning performance from February 2011, as Rai, Italy's public broadcaster, showed it again in the 2024 programme \u201cEvviva!\u201d.

In later years, several contestants on the talent show \u201cAmici di Maria De Filippi\u201d added it to their repertoires; for many young singers, it has become a test of expression.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2024, Gianluca Ginoble, the baritone of the pop-opera trio <a href=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/en\/music\/great-love-flight\/\">Il Volo<\/a>, sang the song with Vecchioni on television. This meeting of generations suits the subject: an older teacher passes his lyrics to a young singer.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Aerial view of Sanremo with red-tiled roofs, houses on the hills and the Ligurian Sea behind them.\" title=\"Aerial view of Sanremo on the Flower Riviera\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/sanremo-stadt-und-kueste-luftbild-pexels-25696459-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Aerial view of Sanremo on the Flower Riviera \u00b7 \u00a9 pexels.com<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sanremo_die_Stadt_hinter_dem_Sieg\"><\/span>Sanremo: the city behind the victory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Vecchioni won at the Teatro Ariston, the cinema and theatre in central Sanremo where the festival has been held for decades.
