Antonello Venditti - Prendilo Tu Questo Frutto Amaro

Little Steven - Bitter Fruit - 1987

This time #iladri are Italian, or rather to be more precise "is Italian," and not just any Italian, but a singer-songwriter of quite a considerable level, namely the seventy-year-old Antonio Venditti better known as Antonello, the only son of a man from Campobasso in Molise who became vice-prefect of Rome and a professor of Latin and Greek, but that’s another story…

His name would be Steven Lento, but we used to know him first as Little Steven (when he was with the Boss's E Street Band) and then as Steven Van Zandt, but also jokingly with the nickname Miami Steve due to his aversion to cold weather.

Of Italian-American descent, Steve, whose grandfather was from Calabria, Lamezia Terme, while his grandmother’s parents were Neapolitan, was Cheyenne on his mother’s side, augh!

This "Bitter Fruit" from '87 was covered by Antonello in '95 and features Steven in the Spanish version from '97 titled "Cómte Tu Este Fruto Amargo" and nothing as usual…
