Lucio Dalla

  Lucio Dalla, beloved Italian singer, died last week only 3 days before his 69th birthday. Dalla’s songs spanned over decades, creating the soundtrack for generations of Italians, who loved the diversity of his music, and the poetry of his lyrics. He was a very prolific songwriter, and his music showed influences of jazz, folk, pop, classical and opera. I was lucky enough to have seen him in concert last summer in Piazza Castello which I blogged about here.
