“Roma nun fà la stupida stasera
Pietro Garinei, Sandro Giovannini, Armando Trovajoli,1963
Damme ‘na mano a faje di de si.
Sceji tutte le stelle
Più brillarelle che poi
E un friccico de luna tutta pe’ noi.”
There is something about Rome, and everyone knows it. The city has been muse for millennia and nobody gets it better than Venditti, Baglioni, Manfredi and Villa, aka the cantanti (singers) whose ballads always bring lacrime to our eyes and make our hearts beat even harder.
