During the concert of Litfiba at Villafranca, in the province of Verona, singer Piero Pelù performed a gesture involving a mannequin head depicting US President Donald Trump. The frontman tied the object to a chain and swung it above his head, uttering a phrase containing an insult directed at the American president and a reference to a scalp. During the same performance, Pelù also addressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with critical remarks. The concert was part of the tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of Litfiba album 17 Re. Present at the venue was Fratelli d'Italia deputy Guerino Testa, who afterwards expressed disagreement with the political content introduced by the singer during the show. According to Testa, musical culture should remain free from ideological conditioning, and he noted that artists who enjoy privileged living conditions should not tell audiences what to think. This is not the first occasion in which Pelù has expressed political positions from the stage. A few days earlier, during another performance in Pescara, the singer had shouted long live free and anti-fascist Italy, describing this as the country's history. The gesture in Villafranca has drawn mixed reactions online and in political circles, with some viewing it as artistic expression and others as an inappropriate politicization of a musical event. The episode continues the public debate on the relationship between entertainment and political commentary, a topic that has emerged on several occasions involving Italian artists.
