THE REVIEW
Internationally known for its title track, winner of the 1990 Sanremo Festival, this album manages to clearly represent the symphonic/melodic pop side of Pooh, a band that, in terms of style and genres, has also approached rock groups like Pink Floyd and Genesis, so to speak (Parsifal, Dove comincia il sole, Un po' del nostro tempo migliore...). Thus, the theme of solitude refreshes the stagnant air that had reigned at the Sanremo Festival for years due to love songs (anyone who tried to innovate wasn't viewed favorably). Touching music, deep lyrics, in short, a very interesting track. Also pleasant are "Napoli per Noi," or the vaguely poignant "La luna ha vent'anni" and "Giulia si sposa," while I didn't find "Donne Italiane" and "Davanti al mare" as interesting, two cute pop songs, but honestly below par for the Pooh style. An honorable mention goes to Dodi Battaglia for "L'altra donna," not only a great guitarist but also a great voice! Roby remains sacred, of course.

How not to be struck by the almost blasphemous invocation placed at the climax of the chorus, not to feel something that was already inside me.
The song succeeds in uniting the audience more than dividing the critics, because it speaks to everyone and has a courageously asserted foundation of truth.

"Uomini soli is an arrow that hits the target exactly."
‘Napoli per noi’ is perhaps the most beautiful tribute to Naples ever made because it comes from outsiders.
