Soundtrack of the theatrical show of the same name, by the Krypton group is Litfiba's first official album.
It is a purely instrumental work, apart from the intro of "La battaglia" sung/recited by Pelù. The work belongs mainly to Antonio Aiazzi and Gianni Maroccolo (who later composed other theatrical soundtracks) for the dark and dissonant sounds.
It is an excellent debut, which already outlines the characteristics of the early Litfiba, epic and decadent and, although it is a soundtrack, the songs do not lose their power when detached from the context in which they were created. The influences of the album are manifold, from Joy Division, Cure, and Ultravox which, despite the album's concept plot (talking about the mythological hero Aeneas), manage to provide many nuances. Among the best compositions are "Incontro d'amore" (enhanced by Sergio Pani's saxophone) and "Il canto dei latini" (which already hints at the basis for "Gira nel mio cerchio").
In 1990 the album was reissued on CD, but the copies were unauthorized and it was withdrawn from the market.
