In the course of the 2000s, Bennato maintains an intense concert activity, filling squares throughout Italy and demonstrating his inexhaustible passion for music.

Significant collaborations, such as that with DJ Gigi D'Agostino and writing songs for the 45th Zecchino d'Oro, highlight his versatility and his continuous search for new musical challenges. His album "L'uomo occidentale," released in 2003, reflects his concerns about contemporary social and political events, offering a critical analysis of the arrogance of the Western world and the violence in trying to solve problems. Despite the challenges and difficulties, Bennato continues to experiment and innovate, as evidenced by his remake of the album "La fantastica storia del Pifferaio Magico" in 2005, involving numerous successful Italian artists. His participation in the television program "The Voice of Italy" in 2015 and the release of the single "Io vorrei che per te" confirm his status as an always active and relevant artist. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bennato continues to create music, releasing the single "La realtà non può essere questa," highlighting his ability to adapt and react to contemporary events with his art. His (so far) latest album "Non c'è," released in November 2020, represents a culmination of his career, offering the public new songs full of meaning and passion.
