Povia height - How tall is Povia?

Always considering himself to be close to right-wing positions, from around 2013 the singer-songwriter began to publicly express Eurosceptic and sovereign ideas. He has repeatedly declared himself a sympathizer of Silvio Berlusconi, Matteo Salvini, Riscossa Italia, and the People of the Family, while he has often criticized the Democratic Party.

In May 2013, Povia criticized Cécile Kyenge on Facebook stating that "if you take the problems of non-EU citizens to heart by giving them priority in a country like Italy, then it annoys me too. Italy must be managed by Italians. [...] If this continues, Italy will go to the Chinese." In July 2017, Povia praised the launch of a Molotov cocktail against a hotel property of the Italian entrepreneur Valerio Ponchiardi guilty of hosting 35 refugees. Povia called this action a patriotic act.

In 2009 he won second place in the 59th Sanremo Music Festival with his song "Luca era gay". Despite the media initially thinking that the song was about Luca Tolve, a man who allegedly has been reversing his homosexuality following the therapies of Joseph Nicolosi., Povia has declared the song is about a man called Massimiliano whom he met on a train from Milan to Rome. During the train ride the man told Povia his personal story about having been gay, but now being married with children.

He has been married since 2007 to Teresa, with whom he has two daughters, Emma (2005) and Amelia (2007). He has lived in Florence for many years.

In his songs, Povia frequently takes on social issues. In 2003 he addressed bulimia with his song Mia sorella. In 2005 his single "Avamposto 55" talked about the children of Darfur. In 2006 he produced the album I bambini fanno: Oh from which the proceeds were used in a campaign he started to build hospitals in Darfur. It sold 200,000 copies and received special accolades from Sony BMG.
