A dialogue between Francesco Guccini—a favorite songwriter for subsequent generations of Italians—and anthropologist Marco Aime. A journey in the journey among the songs and lyrics of this popular songwriter from Emilia, who has often addressed common emotions and fears, passions and disappointments, in his ever-ironic texts. Many of Guccini’s songs are inspired by travel—from the distant worlds evoked in Asia to the encounter described in Autogrill, from the Apennines to America, from L’isola non trovata (a tribute to a late 19th-century Italian poet, G. Gozzano) to L’ultima Thule. A game of different perspectives, an original experiment in the “anthropology of songwriting”, and a journey in music.
