Picking up on the brilliant idea of @[Martello], I dare to pay a sort of "tribute" to a great artist who was (and is) Ivano Fossati, namely a ranking of his albums (from 1981 to 2003) from least to most beautiful...

N°7: "700 Giorni" (1986)
We are in the second half of the 1980s, precisely in 1986. A rather important year, for better or for worse, for Italian singer-songwriter music: Venditti self-destructs an excellent musical career, Battisti begins his collaboration with Pasquale Pannella (ah, the white records...), Pino Daniele continues to bewilder his longtime fans, Graziani releases one of his least convincing albums, Bennato starts to lean towards the well-known chart-pleasing tactics, Dalla alternates between a flop and a beautiful live album, and so on. And then there's Ivano, who continues with his evolution, and this perhaps represents the first album of his "golden period": not yet an absolute masterpiece, but we are already very close. The sounds become increasingly ethnic, and the lyrics increasingly cryptic yet refined at the same time. Furthermore, it contains what is, in my opinion, his greatest masterpiece (yes, I know I'm being cliché...)
Overall rating 8.5

The masterpiece of the album: Una notte in Italia
