Claudio baglioni - wikipedia italiano

Describing Claudio Baglioni is a bit like describing one self, especially if one was an adolescent during the early Seventies, when Italy was living its economic boom and was about to enter a difficult era, transitioning from optimism to the strategy of tension, and finally to the so-called Years of Lead.

It was an Italy where the music of the younger generation was still traditionally melodic, even though some singer-songwriters were beginning to emerge with a new sound, less catchy, with lyrics that suggested unusual topics for those years, sometimes intimate, and the opposite of the then usual “papaveri, papere” [poppies and ducks] and “mille bolle blu” [a thousand blue bubbles] sorts. It was in this period of Italian transition that Claudio Baglioni's brilliant career began. He was a young singer-songwriter from a common family: his father was a petty officer of the Carabinieri, and his mother was a housewife who did some tailoring on the side.

Even as a child Claudio showed a precocious passio
