Waiting for summer tour in the historic arenas of Italy and the release of his new album Magmamemoria, we met Levante in our kitchen.

Finally, we asked Levante which ingredient or dish could identify his new record Magmamemoria, scheduled for release this fall and anticipated by the last success "Everything will be fine".
