Played guitar and bass on Franco Battiato albums Fetus and Pollution; released Andare in 1979; arrangements on Andare by Pino Massara; lyrics on Andare by Alberto Salerno; performed "Talismano nero" at the 1979 Sanremo festival.

Review praises Gianni Mocchetti's 1979 album Andare as a strong, enjoyable record with no filler tracks. Highlights include the Sanremo entry "Talismano nero" and the song "Bianco". Arrangements by Pino Massara and lyrics by Alberto Salerno are noted. Reviewer considers the album wonderful to listen to today.

For:Fans of 1970s Italian rock, collectors of vintage Italian albums, readers of DeBaser

 After accompanying Battiato in his experimental period and playing guitar and bass in forgettable albums such as Fetus and Pollution, Gianni Mocchetti participated in the 1979 edition of Sanremo, an edition forgotten too quickly along with some artists that perhaps we shouldn't have dismissed so swiftly: that same edition featured, in addition to Mocchetti, the participation of a young Enzo Carella and a not so young but still brilliant Franco Fanigliulo.
