Automobili
''Automobili'' is an album by Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla, released in 1976 by RCA Italiana. It was the last work in collaboration with poet Roberto Roversi: the following LP, ''Com'è profondo il mare'', was entirely (not only the music) written by Dalla. The album originated from a theatrical show devised by Dalla and Roversi in 1976, entitled ''Il futuro dell'automobile e altre storie'' ("The Future of Cars and Other Stories"). However, polemics between Roversi and Italian state television RAI, as well as with Dalla himself, led to the poet's decision to sign the album with a pseudonym ("Norisso"), and to abandon the collaboration with the Bolognese musician. Some of the songs from the show were not recorded and remained unpublished, with the exception of "Ho cambiato la faccia di un Dio", which appeared in Dalla's 1990 album ''Cambio'', with the title "Comunista". The album was the most successful of the three written together by Dalla and Roversi, in particular for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Roberto Roversi
Roberto Roversi (28 January 1923 – 14 September 2012) was an Italian poet, writer and journalist. Biography Born in Bologna, he participated as an adolescent to the Italian resistance movement in Piedmont. From 1948 to 2006 he managed the antiquarian bookshop Libreria Palmaverda in Bologna.

In the early 1970s Roversi edited the far-left newspaper ''Lotta Continua''. In 1973–1976, Roversi wrote lyrics for three albums by fellow Bolognese musician Lucio Dalla: ''Il giorno aveva cinque teste'', ''Anidride solforosa'' and ''Automobili'', the latter under the pseudonym Norisso.

Revolutions Per Minute
Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min−1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines. One revolution per minute is equivalent to hertz. Standards ISO 80000-3:2019 defines a physical quantity called ''rotation'' (or ''number of revolutions''), dimensionless, whose instantaneous rate of change is called ''rotational frequency'' (or ''rate of rotation''), with units of reciprocal seconds (s−1). A related but distinct quantity for describing rotation is ''angular frequency'' (or ''angular speed'', the magnitude of angular velocity), for which the SI unit is the radian per second (rad/s). Although they have the same dimensions (reciprocal time) and base unit (s−1), the hertz (Hz) and radians per second (rad/s) are special names used to express two different but proportional ISQ quantities: frequency and angular frequency, respectively. The conversions between a frequency and an angular frequency ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

4/3/1943
"4/3/1943" , also spelled "4 marzo 1943" ('4 March 1943'), is a 1971 song composed by Lucio Dalla and Paola Pallottino. The song ranked third at the 21st edition of the Sanremo Music Festival, in a double performance by Lucio Dalla and Equipe 84. Background The song was composed by Dalla and Pallottino during a trip to the Tremiti Islands. After some successful live performances, RCA Italiana decided to present the song at the Sanremo Music Festival, where it was initially rejected. It was eventually picked up by a special "committee of renovation" formed by Age, Alberto Bevilacqua, Vittorio Caprioli, Tonino Cervi, Fernando Chiglia, Sergio Corbucci, Mario Landi, Ubaldo Lay, and Piero Vivarelli, who was in charge of choosing four songs worthy of being added to the festival for their artistic relevance. As the Sanremo Festival rules prescribed the song being presented in a double performance, various partners for Dalla were tested, including Bobby Solo and Edoardo De Angelis ...

Frazione
A ''frazione'' (: ''frazioni'') is a type of subdivision of a ''comune'' ('municipality') in Italy, often a small village or hamlet outside the main town. Most ''frazioni'' were created during the Fascist era (1922–1943) as a way to consolidate territorial subdivisions in the country. In the autonomous region of the Aosta Valley, a ''frazione'' is officially called ''hameau'' in French. In South Tyrol, a ''frazione'' is called ''Fraktion'' in German and ''frazion'' in Ladin. Description The term ''frazioni'' refers to the villages or hamlets that often make up a ''comune'' in rural Italian areas. Subdivision of a ''comune'' is optional; some ''comuni'' have no ''frazioni'', but others have several dozen. The ''comune'' usually has the same name of the '' capoluogo'', but not always, in which case it is called a ''comune sparso''. In practice, most ''frazioni'' are small villages or hamlets, occasionally just a clump of houses. Not every hamlet is classified as a ''frazione ...
