The show that Cristicchi has constructed recovers the folk tradition of the Tuscan mining village of Santa Fiora, recruiting a vigorous chorus from among the miners and recounting their now obsolete daily life, white deaths, and exploitation. It is the story of a thankless and strenuous life, but with the joyful and supportive atmosphere of an evening among friends in a tavern. The book contine the commented lyrics of the songs, direct testimonies of the miners and a photo insert
Santa Fiora Social Club, an unpublished film report by Simone himself and Andrea Cocchi dedicated to Cristicchi's artistic and human experience with miners.
Simone Cristicchi (born 5 February 1977 in Rome) is an Italian singer and composer. Cristicchi won the 57th edition of the Sanremo music festival in 2007 and also the Mia Martini critics award. His song "Ti regalerò una rosa" won due to extremely high marks received from the festival juries (96/100) and popular vote. The lyrics to the song are taken from papers he found that were written by a man who was in a mental hospital for most of his life. It is a sad tale of the man's struggle with being away from the woman he loves and being exiled for being mentally ill. The song has so far reached number 3 on the official Italian charts and number 1 on the official downloads chart going to become Cristicchi's most successful song to date in the country. Cristicchi participated again at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2019, at its 69th edition, with the song "Abbi cura di me", and scored fifth place.
