THE REVIEW
And while you sweet Venus of Rimmel,
were walking your four dogs and Pablo was being killed
And while Mr. Hood was being attacked by greedy relatives
And while yesterday's stories were walking on pieces of glass
up to the piano bar pianist who had already sung for you
And while I was saying goodnight to you little flower,
with a small apple in hand that I hadn’t yet tasted…
Something remains…

To understand De Gregori, you must not just listen to him; you have to feel him.
"Rimmel" seduces you with its piano, speaking of a love that has ended... just like that.
By Saltuario
Songs like "Pablo," "Buonanotte Fiorellino," and "Rimmel" are by now historic mainstays of De Gregori’s repertoire.
What really captivates about this album is the very high poetic quality of the lyrics, always hermetic but a bit more intelligible than in previous albums.

It's possible to summarize this entire review with the word "amazing."
De Gregori is a great poet, not to detract from his great talents as a composer and singer.
By SydBarrett96
"Rimmel is like a blooming flower in a meadow of kindness, a delicate breeze of wind on the sea, a hermetic poem seasoned in sweet-and-sour sauce."
"A finished love is not tragic here, but a mix of sweetness and disillusionment, among few gestures and shy smiles."
By JpLoyRow2
Rimmel stands as a milestone in Italian music history.
De Gregori’s poetic songwriting makes every track memorable.
