Mengoni: eyeglasses? I wear them because I like them

Eyewear is now an essential part for the look of Marco Mengoni, the new Italian singing star who won the X-Factor program and recently came in third at Sanremo Music Festival with the song Credimi Ancora. "Until I was 16 I was embarrassed about being seen wearing eyeglasses, just as I was shy about calling friends to go out. Then came the turning point: I felt free to do what I wanted, so now I wear what I like" the singer and now Lozza testimonial explained during an interview at Mido 2010. Now he even wears eyeglasses with no lenses. "People ask me why I wear glasses with no lenses. Because I like them".

Eyewear is a feature of personality. "Totally. According to me, eyeglasses must be worn. If you don’t have them it’s still ok, but I need them".

Mengoni is also testimonial for the sunglasses campaign. When asked if shyness or mystery lie behind sunglasses that can also be used to hide the mirror of the soul, he answered confidently: "before it was shyness, now it’s more mystery”.

From unknown artist to singing star and product testimonial. Just two years ago it was difficult to imagine such success. "I didn’t expect this success and my feet still aren’t firmly on the ground. I’m floating and hope I can do it until the end of my days” he concluded.
