Resuming the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I would like to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist like Ivano Fossati, by creating a ranking of his albums (from 1981 to 2003) from the least beautiful to the best...

No. 8: "Ventilazione" (1984)
We are in 1984, and with songwriting in full crisis - excluding a few exceptions - Ivano continues his artistic evolution with this excellent album, which could be defined as a concept about travel (a metaphor that, along with the sea, is a "fixed idea" for the author). An album that might be considered "transitional," moving from the rock Fossati of the '73-'83 decade to the more inspired, intimate, and experimental Fossati of the '86-'03 period. While still quite distant from the well-known absolute masterpieces, it's a record that is enjoyable to listen to.
Overall rating 7.5

The masterpiece of the album: Viaggiatori d'occidente
