Mario Incudine

Singer-songwriter, actor, director, musician, and composer of soundtracks, Mario Incudine is considered one of the most representative figures of the new Italian world music. However, his roots inevitably lead him back to the popular tradition of Sicily and his hometown Enna, where he resides with his family.

“If we all leave, this land will become arid. We must have the courage to stay and take risks, trying to irrigate this land full of energy. It’s easier to leave, but we must try to stay because Sicily needs all of us, and if we leave, it won’t float in the middle of the sea anymore but will sink. We must invest in ourselves and in this land!“
