    First song listened to by Venditti. I had started with the classic stereotypes of the "Roman singer" kind, but after those four fateful minutes, everything dissolved like a little puff of smoke. A short text based on a simple metaphor that ultimately reaches levels that verge on poetry.
     
Picking up the brilliant idea from @[Martello], I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Antonello Venditti, by creating a ranking of his albums (stopping at Cuore from 1984 and including Theorius Campus with De Gregori) from the least beautiful to the best...

No.6: "L'Orso Bruno" (1973)
The first true solo debut for the Roman singer-songwriter. An extremely underrated album, not just by the general public but also by him, to the point that he has never performed a single track live. And, as usual, underrated albums are often among the most beautiful. Because while the arrangements—by Vince Tempera—can seem heavy, verbose, and copied from the early albums of Elton John (especially the self-titled and Madman Across the Water), the songs themselves are truly beautiful.
Overall rating 8.5
