History
Francesco Guccini is one of the defining Italian cantautori, a singer-songwriter whose long, literate songs are carried by acoustic guitar, a deep, slightly rough voice and a storyteller's patience. He was born in Modena, spent part of his childhood in Pàvana, a small village in the Tuscan Apennines that runs through much of his work, and moved to Bologna as a student, a city he later made his home and his subject. His early songs reached a wider public through the band Nomadi, and "Dio è morto" became known despite being kept off state radio. Radici (1972) contains "La locomotiva", the ballad of an anarchist railwayman that became a fixture of his concerts and of the Italian left. Via Paolo Fabbri 43 (1976), named after his Bologna address, includes "L'avvelenata", a furious answer to his critics. Amerigo (1978) takes its title from a song about an uncle who emigrated to America. He is also a novelist. Listeners know him by sprawling verses, irony mixed with melancholy and songs that read like short stories.
