With Francesco Guccini an important piece of Italian song goes and, beyond rhetoric, a voice friendly to the depths, the intimate, the memory and the vision of the world of many Italians. With him also disappears one of the authors who best described the twentieth century, transforming common lives into literature and individual memory into collective heritage. Guccini was a beloved author – he had a real hard core of diehards! Writing about Guccini is difficult: he seemed to have already found all the words, the right ones. On the other hand, as Guccini himself recalled a few years ago, each of his songs is made up of a hundred books.
