Album Notes & Community Reviews

Building upon his reputation as Italy's premier lyricist, the Genoese cantautore's third studio album further refines his stark, acoustic folk style. The record tackles profound themes of mortality, anti-militarism, and societal hypocrisy through poetic narratives heavily influenced by medieval troubadour traditions and French chanson.
