IANVA Italia: Ultimo Atto CD
Here at last "Italia: Ultimo Atto", IANVA's fourth release and eagerly awaited second full length album. This brand new effort magnificently reaches the monumental through almost 70 enthralling minutes dragging the audience into a new dramatic journey. For this occasion a very special play is going to be staged, featuring as a main character a whole nation: Italy. The darkest, gloomiest, most troubled and controversial chapters of the last 60 years of Italian history as seen through the eyes of those who are on the side of the Eternally Defeated: the humble, the idealist, the honest men. The moral and spiritual dissolution of a nation is narrated with the appeal and the accents typical of Neorealism and more than just a reference to some of the greatest and most influential Dissidents of that time: from Pasolini to Curzio Malaparte, from Pietro Germi to Giorgio Gaber, and the bittersweet touch of Pure Popular Music of past decades (Dalida, Battisti, Morricone). 13 tracks engraved in IANVA's usual flamboyant background, here, probably, at its most powerful and lyrical height!
