Radici (album)
''Radici'' is an album of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini. It was released in 1972 by EMI. The album ''Radici'' ("Roots") deals mainly with Guccini's rediscover of his roots, as symbolized by the cover's picture, portraying his grandparents and family. This includes personal roots, but also cultural and political roots. The opening song, "Radici", is about Guccini's family's house in Pavana, on the Tuscan Apennines. "La locomotiva" (the locomotive) tells the story a failed suicide attack by a 19th-century Bolognese anarchist against a luxury train; the latter song has since then ended many Guccini shows. "Piccola città" (small town) is about Guccini's youth in Modena, where his parents had moved after World War II. Incontro" (encounter) deals with the melancholy of a late rendez-vous between Guccini and an old friend. "Canzone dei dodici mesi" (song of the twelve months) is about his cultural roots. In particular it is about the various periods of the year whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Opera Buffa (album)
''Opera buffa'' (, "comic opera"; : ''opere buffe'') is a genre of opera. It was first used as an informal description of Italian comic operas variously classified by their authors as ''commedia in musica'', ''commedia per musica'', ''dramma bernesco'', ''dramma comico'', ''divertimento giocoso''. Especially associated with developments in Naples in the first half of the 18th century, whence its popularity spread to Rome and northern Italy, ''buffa'' was at first characterized by everyday settings, local dialects, and simple vocal writing (the basso buffo is the associated voice type), the main requirement being clear diction and facility with patter. ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera'' considers ''La Cilla'' (music by Michelangelo Faggioli, text by , 1706) and Luigi and Federico Ricci's'' Crispino e la comare'' (1850) to be the first and last appearances of the genre, although the term is still occasionally applied to newer work (for example Ernst Krenek's ''Zeitoper'' '' S ...

World War II
World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis powers. World War II was a total war that directly involved more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries. The major participants in the war threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, enabling the strategic bombing of population centres and deploying the only two nuclear weapons ever used in war. World War II was by far the deadliest conflict in human history; it resulted in 70 to 85 million fatalities, mostly among civilians. Tens of millions died due to genocides (including the Holocaust), starvation, ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
