… AND THE ONE RECEIVED - Agnelli does not dispute the gist of the message ('I've always been on the left. This is an opportunity for rebuild an identity on a vision that is content and not just an electoral victory'), but the simple fact that it was expressed. In the past, two months ago and always with regard to Maneskin, he had revealed that he had been advised to 'soften' Damiano: 'I was asked to calm him down (presumably dagli autori del talent, ndr) : on TV he could be obnoxious and arrogant. On the contrary, I emphasized it. I told him: 'Do what you want'. And, with little humility, I was right”.
