Allons enfants de la patrie! Is there a revolution to be made? What fog, what confusion, what stormy air...

The good Claudio Lolli sang more or less like this in the bustling Bologna of '77!

I was also alongside the Soviets when I was preparing to overturn the conditions of the Mujiki by rolling the heads and the crown of the Romanovs, I already had the usual trick ready waiting for you in Siberia. I was already there, in the future, building the gulags ready to drink all the blood offered on the barricades of the planet.

Liberté Egalité Fraternité (the most astute added a coarse and irreverent rhyme as a prophetic synthesis of how it would end!)... the usual skeptics, the enthusiastic positivist would say. Today, even if few, have understood it. I confirm that they had seen rightly.

Back to the Future: late romantic representations these Wind boys. It is known, man is what he eats, the land of the Bruzi is still tied to the wrongs suffered from the latest events imposed by the unitary state (not that before the Bourbons went lightly either: quite the opposite!!!). The Savoyard was a fierce and bloodthirsty dictatorship that ravaged "Sudditalia" and the Islands, quartering, shooting, burying alive, and further impoverishing, if possible, the poor peasants and the people in general whom salaried writers attempted, succeeding (alas!), to defame... branding them with the name of Brigands.

Today only the puppets have changed and so, as always, on the eve of this already on step 2012, someone articulates concepts and sounds in the wind to reiterate: Up Patriots To Arms, engagez Vous the contemporary music throws me down... and it's not my fault if Executioners exist, if stupidity exists, if the benches are full of people who are in paaaaain.

To Parto delle Nuvole Pesanti, a gentle request: take care with brotherly attention of these guagnuni: they could be your respectable and ideal continuation. "forsemente" (I know you understand!) less (I say it with affection) charlatanesque. True, ours were other times and Movements... I see, however, temporal similarities (in every sense).

I had never listened to or heard of the good "Musicanti" and I must say they were a pleasant and interesting surprise. I think there's some work to be done on a few things but the road is downhill and all the cards are there to be played. The Musicanti del Vento, certainly, have energy to spare, lots of ideas and a desire to express them. I'm sure that with time, more pragmatism and concreteness in arrangements, they will certainly create a more fertile ground for the seeds of Frontman Fabio Nicoletti... ready to grow tall and lush.

How not to recognize, finally, the fine intelligence of the Art Designer who as an occult multidimensional navigator has captured one of the most real and true images with which sometimes our "fire-eater" from beyond shows oneself to those who manage to see it.
