City and Italian pop music

[Forzacitizens]

Yesterday my Italian friend messaged me regarding a Italian song by an artist called Cesare Cremonini.

The song is called 'lost in the weekend' and in the opening lyrics he mentions city.

The first two lines of the song are:

Nelle strade dei quartieri Inglesi
A cosa pensano quando il city vince e torna il sole

This roughly translates as:

In the streets of English neighbourhoods, what they think when city win and the sun returns

"In the streets of English neighbourhoods, what they think when city win and the sun returns.."

A bit cryptic I think.. at least the "sun" bit

I Really liked that , don't speak Italian so other than the lost in the weekend bit , ..did a wiki seach found:
Cesare Cremonini is an Italian singer-songwriter and actor. Cremonini was the leader of Lùnapop, a successful and popular Italian pop band between 1999 and 2002. In 2002 Lùnapop was disbanded. He has since pursued a successful solo career.

not to be confused with..

Cesare Cremonini, sometimes Cesare Cremonino (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃezare kremoˈnini]; 22 December 1550[1] – 19 July 1631) was an Italian professor of natural philosophy, working rationalism (against revelation) and Aristotelian materialism (against the dualist immortality of the soul) inside scholasticism. His Latinized name was Cæsar Cremoninus.[2][3] or Cæsar Cremonius.[4][5]

Considered one of the greatest philosophers in his time, patronized by Alfonso II d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, corresponding with kings and princes who had his portrait, paid twice the salary of Galileo Galilei, he is now more remembered as an infamous side actor of the Galileo affair, being one of the two scholars who refused to look through Galileo's telescope.[6]
