For:Fans of Italian singer-songwriters (cantautori), listeners of 1970s–1980s Italian pop/rock, DeBaser readers

 Voice-instrument, more than ever: the art of singing had revealed all its secrets to Alberto: it was just a matter of modulation, just a matter of choosing when to exaggerate and when to adopt a more modest register, when to fully exploit the potential and when to opt for simplicity, without ever stumbling over a single flaw.
