Achille Lauro closes the festival with Elizabeth I and a history of art camp from Crivelli to Tiepolo

Achille Lauro closes his Sanremo Festival with another artistic-themed disguise: for the last night of the 70th edition of the Italian song festival, the Roman singer decided to wear the clothes of Elizabeth I Tudor. On his Instagram account, Achille Lauro commented on the photos in Elizabethan clothes this way: “Elizabeth I Tudor, virgin bride of the homeland, the people, art and defender of freedom. May God bless us.” For Achille Lauro, another costume designed by Alessandro Michele, creative director of Gucci.

But that’s not all: to close his camp reinterpretation of art history, Achille Lauro also posts on his Instagram account a gallery where he appears, again dressed as Elizabeth I, along with some masterpieces of art history. Thus he alternates between Carlo Crivelli’sAnnunciation at the National Gallery in London, the vault of the Sistine Chapel frescoed by Michelangelo, and Giambattista Tiepolo ’sAllegory of Merit that adorns the vault of the throne room in Ca’ Rezzonico in Venice.

After the Giotto of the first evening and the Luisa Casati of the second, another art-historical tribute for Achille Lauro, who proved to be one of the most talked-about characters of the festival.

In the following images: Achille Lauro posing over Crivelli’sAnnunciation, the vault of the Sistine Chapel and Tiepolo’sAllegory of Merit, and next to the portrait of Elizabeth I executed in about 1588 by George Gower and preserved at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
