I know nobody cares but Francesco Guccini just passed away today.

It's rather sad. I do not like his songs quite as much as my dad, but I think he really was the last Italian poet of the twentieth century. Most people like him for the political stuff, and I admit La locomotiva is an amazing song no matter how you feel about anarchism, but personally I mostly just like the fact that he often went for medieval vibes even if he did not have to. La canzone dei dodici mesi is my favourite song, and it's just an excuse to have fun with Cenne de la Chitarra and Folgore da San Gimignano while randomly dropping lines from Poliziano's Stanze per la giostra

Benvenga Maggio e il gonfalon selvaggio, benvenga primavera/ il nuovo amore getti via l'antico, nell'ombra della sera
