Giorgio Gaber

A giant. He is the one who risked the most in Italy: his song-theater performances were half-empty at the beginning, but he stubbornly persevered and the results, I believe, have abundantly justified him. In my opinion, he is not remembered as he deserves, unlike his deceased colleagues (De André, Dalla, Daniele, Battiato, Battisti) – which is unfair, because he was worth as much as they were.
