Or, at least, can U consider putting there some of them? ;-)

P.S.: even reading Italian, answering English!
P.P.S.: nice review in your blog! Can I copy it here? Funny the 
"surprised Fede" part :-) Did U hear about new Rigo's CD?

Ok, I'll contact U when I'll be using Gra's connection (no ADSL here) ;-)
Or, U could modify the Wikipedia page by yourself :-)

 "surprised Fede" part :-) Did U hear about new Rigo's CD?
I didn't, saw that IBS has it. A shame I already pre-ordered Sette 
Notti, but I expect I'm going to order some cd's in 4-6 weeks so I'll 
add it to my wishlist.
It's so hard to get Italian music here in Holland, unless you want Eros 
Ramazzotti, Laura Pausini or Zucchero. A little music store nearby has 
tried to get albums by other musicians but they simply wouldn't receive 
them from their Italian supplier.

I also have the 800x600/600x800 versions, those should be big enough for 
website and are only around 500kb.
I tried editing Wikipedia pages on several occasions, but I never got it 
to work properly. I'm afraid that the fact the website is in Italian 
will even complicate things more.

Sure you can copy it here. It was funny, he even called a 
technician/roadie to show that I had his album. My friend was really 
surprised and more excited than I that I got his autograph!

What about taking a low cost flight and coming directly here? ;-) It 
would cost less than the CDs cost difference :-)
Massi

 Sure, no problem. Let me know which ones you would like
It's up to you: the pictures are yours, I think it's right if U check on 
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luciano_Ligabue
 and choose the right 
pictures and the right place to put them in ;) When U will have chosen, 
I can make the "dirty job" for U ;-)

Ecco il report di Bianca:
The wait
Although the doors wouldn't open until 19.00 I arrived at Paradiso at 
noon. When I was nearly at Paradiso I saw Ligabue walking towards me, 
with him were his PA or manager and a young boy. Because I suspected the 
boy was Ligabue's son I didn't ask for an autograph and left them alone. 
At Paradiso there were already people waiting. The Italian fans had 
organised a list on which you could register. You would get a number and 
every 60 or 90 minutes there was roll-call, everybody had to be there 
and if you weren't your name was struck off the list. They had organised 
this so people didn't have to wait outside the whole time and would be 
able to get some food or walk around Amsterdam. The idea was that when 
the doors opened everybody would go in according to their number. I was 
number 55 on the list, but stayed at Paradiso the whole time.
Shortly after I arrived I was interviewed by the fanclub 
BarMario/Ligachannel on video. After that the real wait started. Since I 
only speak a couple of words of Italian I was basically on my own until 
my friend arrived at 17.00. By that time the Italian fans tried to get 
the line in order, which didn't work because some people who didn't have 
a number refused to get to the end of the line.
When the doors finally opened at 19.00 there was a lot of pushing and 
shoving but we got in and found a place right in front of the stage on 
the left, just in front of guitarist Federico Poggipollini, like last 
year. After another 90 minutes the concert began.
p1000199_web.jpg The concert
Ligabue came on stage on his own with guitar and harmonica to play Il 
Mio Pensiero. After that the other musicians came on stage and gave a 
very powerful redition of Il Centro del Mondo. The sound was better than 
last year, although being right in front of the stage and several 
speakers there is no way of telling how it really sounds like. Last year 
the music was a bit too loud in comparison to the vocals. Between songs 
Ligabue told the audience that he returned to Paradiso because there 
were some technical difficulties last year.
Like last year everybody on stage seemed to enjoy themselves 
thouroughly. There was a bigger audience than last year, the hall was 
completely filled even the two balconies were full. Last year there was 
enough room to go to the back of the room to get a drink and stand in 
the back away from the crowd, not so this year. The audience was also 
great, although in front there was a lot of pushing at times.
Half way through the set there some slower songs were played like Certe 
Notti, but the pace was quickly picked up again by songs as Vivo, Morto 
o X and a medley of older songs. As an encore Buonanotte All'Italia and 
Urlando Contro il Cielo were played. Last year I got an autograph of 
Federico on the booklet of his album Nella Fretta Dimentico which I 
brought. Last month he released his new album, Coas Cosmico, and I 
brought the booklet with me again. He was surprised when I showed it to 
him and asked me if I was the same person who brought the booklet last 
year! After the concert he signed this booklet too.
All in all it was another great concert, better even than last year. 
I've been to concert where the artists look like they're performing a 
routine, something they have to get through. Ligabue and his musician 
really enjoyed themselves and there was a real interaction between 
Ligabue and the audience.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to write down the setlist, if I find it or 
if someone does remember it and is willing to email it I will publish it 
too.
I took a lot of pictures, well over a hundred. A selection can be viewed 
in the gallery below.
