Story & Background
This "Lucio Dalla" from 1979 marks a momentous turning point: after years of fruitful collaboration with lyricist Roberto Roversi, Dalla takes on for the first time the burden and the honour of writing all the lyrics, as well as the music. The initial fear of not being up to the task was soon dispelled by the success of tracks that became generational anthems. "L'anno che verrà", in particular, was conceived as an open letter, a way to confront the Italy of the "anni di piombo" with a perspective between bitter resignation and a faint hope. Its apparent lightness concealed an acute social and political observation, making it a sonic manifesto of an era of profound uncertainties, and consolidating Dalla as a complete and visionary author.
