The LifeGate app is changing, getting a refresh and welcoming LifeGate Radio Blues — a channel dedicated to the finest roots music, with stories from those who made the history of the genre.
The LifeGate app gets a new look: from today, users will be able to read the news from our website, listen to the four radio channels and, for example, consult the list of Plasticless ports, the project aimed at reducing pollution in Italy's seas through the collection of plastic waste in port waters and sailing clubs. It will also be possible to find Energy agriturismi bars and Stay for the planet hotels — the sustainability rating that helps you choose environmentally conscious hotels and hotel chains. The app will also feature links to LifeGate energy, our 100 per cent renewable Italian energy supply, to LifeGate experience, which promotes sustainable tourism, and to Investimenti sostenibili, the first impact investing mutual fund listed on the Borsa Italiana.
Here are the store links to download the LifeGate app:
The warmth of the blues warms the soul and brings people closer together. From today, all fans of roots music will be able to find within the LifeGate app a channel dedicated to LifeGate Radio Blues, the web radio conceived and created in collaboration with Ricola, with the contribution of Fabio Treves, a legend of Italian blues and a long-standing contributor to the station. For Luca Morari, Vice President Southern Europe Ricola & Ceo Divita, this is an opportunity to "offer the wider public values, emotions and a desire for change, as well as the chance to reconnect with one's own roots".
It is also thanks to the affection shown by LifeGate Radio Blues listeners that this channel has been brought to the app. "The affection and feedback we received during this first year of LifeGate Radio Blues, especially during this particular moment in history, have confirmed to us the value of this project, in which we believe deeply and which we want to keep building together with Fabio Treves and Ricola," commented Giacomo De Poli, Artistic Director of LifeGate Radio.

But this app is also an opportunity to introduce the wonders of the blues to a wider audience that may not yet have fallen in love with the genre. Fabio Treves, the Puma di Lambrate, has no doubts: "This is certainly a great step forward for the spread of this wonderful musical genre and for my personal crusade, whose slogan is Blues alle masse. Right now, more than ever, we need good music to rediscover our smile, our strength and our optimism."
