LUCIO DALLA borns in 4 march 1943. That date will be very important : it's the title of his first big success: "3 Marzo 1943" presented in Festival of Italian Music, Sanremo ('66). He borns in Bologna, a town famous for: the "cooking", considered, for many persons, as me, the best one in Italy; the University , one of oldest in Europe; the hight spirit of peoples; the passion for motorcicles ( Ducati made in Bologna) and cars , as Ferrari , Lamborghini; the 'true' socialism , the oldest social cooperatives borns in XIX century in the country around Bologna, many decades before "October Revolution" of Russia's memory. The 'collaborative' and expansive caracter of Bologna's citizens is one of elements of Lucio Dalla's image, that We can find in the songs, in the text and music. In fact, Dalla starts to play clarinet, jazz, to 12 year-old and only at 23 years-old someone (his Productor) tips to him to sing his songs. Another Italian song-writer borned. The '60's are cultural revolution's years and song-writers are an expression of that. Before '60's musicians divides in 2 kinds: authors and singers, but now... In these years, after rock'n roll, Beatles, Bob Dylan, everything seems musicians will be more free to make what they wants, in fact music takes more benefits than others art form from that situation. Lucio Dalla: his unusual way to make 'solo' with voice, his hight professionality with clarinet , his apolitical way to be a song-writer makes a strange 'mix', a very loved singer and respected author. Dalla loves sea just from he is a boy because with his mom has a little home in Puglia's seabord, a day, during a tourneè of concerts, he writes a song that will be cosiderated his best song: "Caruso". In that song Caruso, one of the best italian tenor (Naples 1873-1921) : He is in a hotel's room, near the sea, and to think to his love, with big exiting and passion describes all his pain, suffering from absence, caused from distance from Italy and New York, where the Big Singer played concerts.
In 1990 pubblish "Attenti al lupo", with 1,400,000 is record about "more selling single ever (in Italy)" and in '96 'Canzoni' is "more Lp sold in the decade (in Italy)". He is also productor and with PRESSING S.r.l. he brings out: Stadio, Ron, Luca Carboni, Samuele Bersani and the re-edit of Gianni Morandi; very important Italian singers, all comes from Bologna's region, and that we'll reviews soon at possible.
