Genoa. Songs uphill, M. Angiolani (Zone)
guide to the city and its songs. A Genoa so you have not yet seen. This guide (a guide to get lost, "according to author) takes you around from west to east, from the sea and up the steep streets that climb the mountains in search of places immortalized in the songs of Paul, De André, Bindi, Tenco, Lauzi, Fossati (the great Genoese school) or their younger "heirs": Francesco Baccini, Max Manfredi, Claudia Pastorino, Fabrizio Casalino and more ... You will discover alleyways, Creuza, squares, corners, or hidden magic of the city in a completely different light, and you are a tourist in search of new emotions or just a curious resident, the charm of the "Superba" will win too. Marzio Angiolani draws a map "Music" in Genoa unique, poetic, exciting, and does not make us miss a rich array of useful information, leisure, eating, sleeping, and drinking well - of course - listening to good live music. The "Guided" Federica Bocci striking counterpoint this tour to discover - as befits a true guide - the places of art "official." For example, we follow a route almost obligatory, that the Old Harbour, from Piazza Caricamento and then between the odors and fumes of fried food and focaccerie Sottoripa leads to Via del Campo, the way of pretty, big eyes the color of leaf. The Genoa City has voted "street music", it is the home to the famous and original museum of memorabilia dedicated to Fabrizio De André. Discs, covers, posters, articles and reviews, photos, books, engravings unavailable, the historic guitar Faber, finance of school report cards: all collected and preserved by his childhood Gianni Tassio, and genuinely zenéise round man, able to entertain you for hours with his anecdotes, memories, stories, a real mine. The streets, squares, alleyways, the creuze, the most magical places in the city's hidden or bind it to the words of beloved songs. Step by step, and through a language rich in color and image, Marzio Angiolani draws a new and fascinating map of the city, making us not miss a rich array of useful information, to eat and drink and (of course) listening to good music. How all'Ostàia de 'Banchi, in Piazza Banchi, the most Antica Osteria di Genova where Gigi Picetti "studies alcohol with the commitment of the philologist and the passion of the Alchemist", which says that the young Garibaldi ended the victim of a brawl on the eve of an insurrection, and where today improvised performances and concerts (hence also passed Moni Ovadia). Or the Merry Wine Vico della Neve, where Frederick Marietta, between the counter and display case of cheeses, let those who want to play in a "scene" worthy of the best comedies of Gilberto Govi.
