A song for the summer: “fins, rifle and glasses”

Fins, rifle and glasses (1962) – “With fins, rifle and glasses / when the sea is a blue table / under a sky of a thousand colors / we dive with the head plus. / While all the people are clever / on the sand burned by the sol / we exchange in the salted water / a sweet kiss of love.”

He says everything, in a handful of seconds, this canticle of the summer, in which the accountant Edoardo Vianello, always flanked by the trusted co -author Carlo Rossi, frames the condition of millions of Italians on vacation, almost a firm image. A cult: which on the cover of the 45 rpm RCA reports an exceptional testimonial, the actress Maria Grazia Buccella.

This news is, for a kind concession of the author and the publisher, by “linked to a grain of sand”, written by Enzo Gentile and published by Melampo Editore.
