Two DeBaser reviews size up Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi’s solo path. One applauds the Sanremo-launched Ho sognato troppo l’altra notte? for its Morricone-flavored, western-tinged flair and baritone gravitas. The other finds La Mia Generazione a warm homage whose covers don’t surpass the ‘90s originals. Overall: respectful, but not uncritical.
