For me, Rabbit on the Rooftop is more than just a song; it’s a chapter of life, an invitation to lift your gaze from routine and venture beyond imposed limits. This song is inspired by all the dreams and risks I’ve taken in life, by the freedom I feel when I’m in Italy, or when I lose myself in the chords of a jazz concert.

I’ve learned that life isn’t just about achieving success or stability; it’s about those moments when you listen to your heart and follow those wild impulses. The rabbit in the story is a part of me – that brave part that keeps dreaming and trying, even when it knows it might not reach the desired destination. This song is for everyone who still has a dream to chase, even if life’s paths have taken them elsewhere.

The jazz and folk in this song come from my love for freedom and spontaneity, the same things that draw me to live music and Italian culture every time. I’ve been playing piano since I was little, and I love to write down my thoughts, and, in a way, Rabbit on the Rooftop gathers everything I’ve lived: the unfulfilled love for Alessandro, the nights in Italy, and the smiles of the customers in my restaurant.

In the end, this song is an invitation: Hop little rabbit, don’t you ever stop. Get up and run after your dreams, even if everyone else tells you you’re crazy. Every step is a chapter in your story. I hope that, through this song, I can remind you that life is more than just a road... it’s an adventure.
