In these days “Rimmel”, the album of Francesco De Gregori, turns 50. The precise day is not given to know it, because in 1975 the album output dates were not made official; However, it was the month of January.

Over time, the album has become a classic of Italian music, and it seemed right to celebrate it.

In this special you will find:

A story of the album written by De Gregori’s highest Italian expert, Enrico Deregibus;

the cards told of each of the nine songs of the album, written by Federico Pistone;

A large collection of declarations on the album that we asked for and received from 18 Italian songwriters (in alphabetical order: Niccolò Agliardi, Gian Piero Allaisio, Luca Barbarossa, Brunori Sas, Sergio Caputo, Fabio Concato, Cesare Cremonini, Gianluca De Rubertis, Alberto Fortis , Gianluca Grignani, Ligabue, Marco Masini, Morgan, Pacifico, Massimo Priviero, Enrico Ruggeri, Daniele Silvestri, Gianni Togni);

A review of the album written by Mattia Marzi, who was not yet born in 1975;

And a “cover” version of the album with the reinterpretations of the nine songs of the album, curated by Maurilio Giordana.

Thanks to all those who contributed in various capacities to the realization of this special, and good reading.
