Davide Di Rosolini: Sicilian Artist Blends Music, Theater, and Visual Arts

artist · 2026-04-27

Davide Di Rosolini (born 1982 in Modica, lives in Sicily) has released a new collection of songs and texts, accompanied by a tour across Italy. His performances combine a vast musical repertoire with surreal monologues, self-produced tarot readings, naïf image projections, and live music videos shot in marginal settings like supermarkets, abandoned churches, campsites, and illegal suburbs. Critic Luca Arnaudo describes Di Rosolini as a cross between a jester and a troubadour, capable of shifting from raucous comedy to poetic reflection. The artist's work is characterized by a refined spontaneity that holds together gentleness and anger, elements that Arnaudo argues are essential for authenticity but not conducive to mainstream success. The article is a review and endorsement by Arnaudo, published on Artribune.
