Portavo allora un eskimo innocente: Francesco Guccini si racconta a Massimo Cotto

Rate this book
Nuova ed. aggiornata e ampliata de "Un altro giorno è andato".

Ci si può raccontare in modi diversi, seguendo le linee rette della domanda risposta o assecondando le curve della memoria. Questa biografia ufficiale di Guccini percorre la seconda strada. È un lungo, straordinario racconto in cui Francesco ha srotolato e poi riaggomitolato il filo rosso dei ricordi in due anni di incontri con Massimo Cotto. Un libro montanaro, che sa di terra, in un mondo troppo spesso coperto dalla plastica.

About the author

Francesco Guccini

66 books47 followers
Francesco Guccini is an Italian singer-songwriter, considered one of the most important Cantautori. During the five decades of his music career he has recorded 16 studio albums and collections, and 6 live albums. He is also a writer, having published autobiographic and noir novels, and a comics artist. Guccini also worked as actor, soundtrack composer, lexicographer and dialectologist.
Guccini moved to Pàvana during World War II, then returned to Modena where he spent his teenage years and established his musical career. His debut album, Folk beat n. 1, was released in 1967, but the first success was in 1972 with the album Radici. He was harshly criticised after releasing Stanze di vita quotidiana, and answered to his critics with the song "L'avvelenata". His studio albums production slowed down in the nineties and 2000s, but his live albums continued being successful.
His lyrics have been praised for their poetic and literary value and have been used in schools as an example of modern poetry. Guccini has gained the appreciation of critics and fans, who regard him as an iconic figure.[1] He has received several awards for his works; an asteroid, a cactus species and a butterfly subspecies have been named after him. The main instrument in most of his songs is the acoustic guitar.

C'è il Guccio dentro, con la sua ondata comunicativa che sa trasmettere in maniera simile alle sue canzoni, la sua corposa ma semplice e schietta filosofia di vita. Interessante anche per sapere in maniera più approfondita l'origine dei suoi testi.

Molto bello e divertente. Guccini è schietto e brillante anche se talvolta la prosa diventa un pò caotica, in quel modo tipico del racconto orale. Molte storie le conoscevo già, mentre è stato davvero un piacere scoprirne tante altre di cui non sapevo nulla
