Story & Background
The album "Lucio Dalla" from 1979 represents a momentous turning point and a winning gamble for the Bolognese artist. After years of fruitful and innovative collaboration with the poet Roberto Roversi, who had penned the lyrics for masterpieces such as "Il giorno aveva cinque teste" and "Automobili", Dalla found himself for the first time writing entirely, words and music, the entire record. This decision, also taken following the artistic break with Roversi, created considerable anticipation and, perhaps, some scepticism about the musician's actual ability to bear the lyrical weight of an entire work alone. The resounding success of tracks like "L'anno che verrà" and "Stella di mare" swept away every doubt, consecrating Dalla as a fully-fledged singer-songwriter and demonstrating his extraordinary sensitivity in capturing the spirit of the times, consolidating his artistic stature and his creative independence.
