Bennato's last great album (though the two that followed are also quite pleasant). One of his best, it's a mature record with sharp lyrics and music, blending Pinocchio, metaphors, biting irony, rock'n'roll, and bitter ballads. For example, "Mangiafuoco" (the best track on the album), "Quando sarai grande," "Il Grillo Parlante," and the wild rock'n'roll of "In prigione in prigione" stand out dramatically. Probably a high point in his career. After "I buoni e i cattivi" and "La Torre di Babele," this is the Bennato album I consider the most successful.
