“Patton was vibrating. The tuxedo was a cage, the bow tie a noose. He’s channeling 1960s RAI television ghosts while the humidity in the Teatro Rossini turned his sheet music into pulp. I saw the back of his shirt after the set—completely translucent with sweat, the salt mapping out his spine. It wasn’t a tribute; it was an exorcism of pop. The orchestra was terrified. He was just trying to remember the third verse of Scalinatella.”
