The book
A volume that is also an illustrated journey into music, to discover the stories that arise behind, around, within a hundred songs that we have all sung: from Frank Sinatra to Vasco Rossi, from Lucio Battisti to David Bowie, from the Beatles to Radiohead, from Franco Beaten to Michael Jackson … And at the end we come across an iconic song because it is against all wars, ‘The deserter’ by Boris Vian, known in Italy for the interpretation of Ivano Fossati.
