With immense joy, I learned that Elodie, the extraordinary Italian singer, will be the representative of our country in the famous Pirelli Calendar 2025. This prestigious edition, photographed by the renowned Ethan James Green, was created against the stunning backdrop of New York, a city symbolic of innovation and diversity, perfectly reflecting the themes chosen for this year.
The calendar, with the theme “Refresh and Renewal,” will focus on concepts of inclusion and unconventional beauty, exploring queer and non-binary aesthetics, and placing diversity in all its forms at the center. The official presentation to the public is scheduled for November 2024, an event that will undoubtedly draw global attention.
Exclusively Elodie
Elodie Di Patrizi, known simply as Elodie, is one of the most powerful and recognizable voices in the Italian music scene. Born in Rome in 1990, she gained widespread attention through her participation in Amici di Maria De Filippi in 2015, where she immediately won the hearts of viewers with her talent and captivating personality.
Since then, Elodie has not stopped. Her musical successes, including hits like “Andromeda” and “Guaranà,” have topped the charts, showcasing her artistic versatility. Beyond music, Elodie has demonstrated her talent in dance, both in music videos and live performances, and in acting, with a recent role in the film “Ti mangio il cuore,” which confirmed her ability to express herself through various forms of art.
Social Commitment and Inclusion
But Elodie is not just a successful singer; she is also a tireless activist for civil rights, particularly for the LGBTQ+ community. Her closeness to these issues has been evident on numerous occasions, through artistic collaborations and public stances in favor of inclusivity and against all forms of discrimination.
Her involvement in the Pirelli Calendar 2025 is no coincidence. Elodie has clearly expressed how her body is a vehicle for personal and political expression, a symbol of freedom that goes beyond traditional standards of beauty and sensuality. “The body is the home of who you are,” she stated in an interview, emphasizing how nudity and sensuality should be understood as natural expressions of the human being, far from commodification.
Artistic Collaborations
Throughout her career, Elodie has collaborated with some of the biggest names in Italian music, including Marracash, with whom she shared not only the microphone but also an intense love story, Mahmood, and the legendary Dardust, who produced some of her most iconic tracks. These collaborations have enriched her artistic journey, leading her to explore new genres and sounds, and contributing to making her one of the most versatile artists on the contemporary scene.
Why Did She Deserve It?
Elodie sought and achieved this success because she always believed in her uniqueness and her ability to break the mold. She has worked tirelessly, not only to hone her musical talent but also to champion the causes of inclusion and respect for all. And in this, we can say that Elodie truly deserved it.
