If the Italian singer, as male, has a lot of prominent names on the female side, however, everything begins and ends, more or less, with Gianna Nannini. That, in spite of the ways, shall we say, unconventional, fully devotes his art to his manifestation of the woman. In a manner unprecedented for the Italian public, although accustomed to extravagance of Patty Pravo, or Berté Loredana. Firstly because Nannini is the author of nearly all his texts (and its music), and also because its language and its dimension are outside of all territories praticati. Fresca studies already carried out – but not completed – at the Conservatorio di Siena, Gianna Nannini take his career record in Milan, in the mid-seventies, attending various music, and thus in contact with the PFM and Roberto Vecchioni, fundamental for the birth of the first album. In 1976 it comes out Gianna Nannini, while the 1977 is the year of a clearing. Spend two years and Gianna Nannini, in 1979, gives the prints a new LP, California, produced by Michelangelo Romano. The album immediately causes a hornet’s nest of controversy, cover the area where the statue of liberty while holding a vibrator instead of a torch (the father of the singer, even ask for replacement of the accused). The contents, piccantissimi, launch of the song, America, perhaps the first Italian female song, which speaks of autoeroticism, help to build a “scandalous” and “prohibited” by Gianna, but at the same time open the doors of hit-parade, and the singer gave Siena a success it deserves.

The disc contains, among others, the extraordinary California, reveals that the intense line on which the rock Nannini decide to steer his career. After the cyclone, the artist will encounter in the production of film music (rock faces, to Luciano Mannuzzi), and 1981 gives the prints NG., a record in the experimental part, which stands out the hit Come boy. The next year was born Latin Lover: style rock / romantic of Gianna finds its first point of reference, through collaboration with Conny Planck. Besides the title track gives the album, has been of great interest Boy, a little ‘taste for the vaguely bohemian, a little’ for the references to the east of our continent, then universe hidden by the Iron Curtain. And we get to 1984, the year of the puzzle, or better than Fotoromanza, who conquered the charts and summer marks the consecration of Nannini, not only from a commercial point of view, but other, more important, memory, language common (if it is true that each of us, at least once in their life, found himself athletically to meditate on the basis of that famous “you phone or not, I do not give first). Great concerts in Italy and throughout Europe, won the Festivalbar, gold disc, and press the extraordinary quality of the text.

The moment of glory is likely to promote the release of a live disc, precisely, all live in early 1985: productivity is far, however, from being exhausted. And neither gives Nannini merite volissima test after about a year, with the output of your dazzling scent. Hit the introduction, Bello and impossible. The success is overwhelming. The song, second remote legends born, during a break at a small table with a bar of Siena, becomes, to say I miss the driving part of summer 1986. Much more of a smash: as beautiful and not born in the light of a brilliant idea, in the artistic product, which, as demonstrated by its ricorrentissime citations, has been able to ride year perhaps even more than Fotoromanza? Summaries of the poetic Nannini, the song I want to serve the male figure without compromise, without any attempt to claim part of the staff by women, who, calm declaring his devotion to his. In other respects, too dominant theme of the same scent, with its exaltation of the physical size, and as a slave, where the passionate rejection of freedom for the slave of love, you struggle, the purpose of life. Support the disc, other interesting pieces, Jealousy, How many hands, and above all adventurers, mirror of the most anarchic of rockeuse.

The productive vein of Gianna is far from exhausted even temporarily: a little over twelve months after the extraordinary individual Males announces the release of a collection of the most significant pieces of its repertoire (just Males and others … in which the novel will be presented in a slightly modified version, a long version). Atmosphere of great intensity and a captivating and almost magical mark the core of this extraordinary song, presented in world premiere at the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo. Meanwhile, the album confirms the previous popularity of Nannini across Europe earning gold and platinum awards and numerous officers. The summer of 1988 sees a new piece protagonist, Hey Bionda, far from the spirit antimilitaristic (center is the polemic against women who choose a career in the army), as direct and frank style of Nannini. In September is the time the album which is titled Malafemmina and contains, in addition to individual summer, ten songs written with Pianigiani and Campaner, and produced with Alan Moulder. Among others, I want to stand out making love, where men use the theme with the directives already in Perfume and A boy like you, who represents the structure – in the wake of disappointment. This too is Gianna, in his universe populated by figures who want to love you with all of her.
The decade is coming to the end with a statement – and satisfaction: In 1989, music by Giorgio Moroder, the Nannini composed the text of A summer Italian song chosen as the anthem of World Cup 1990 coming to take place in Italy. She herself will perform the piece together with Edoardo Bennato, writing a great page of music and costume, once again succeeded in breaking into the language and the popular press. The adventure of the blue from Azeglio Vicini will then be remembered as magical nights, starting from which is the backbone of the piece. Meanwhile, the singer is Tuscan in the studio again to record a new album, Scandal, due out in late summer of 1990. Excellent collaboration, even with Roberto Vecchioni, which participates in the text of the beautiful smile and two girls in me, and with a then little-known Pelù Piero, co-author of Spirits of lovers and flowers to poison. The title track, which gives the disc, the song is the album-trailer, rock song itself, which reveals a significant music during the eighties, along this line. The same tendency that more and more to improve, then taking the road to the electronics of the new millennium. In the meantime, however, in 1991, is the time the album live Giannissima (recordings from the summer tour the same year), and two years later, in 1993, the new collection of unpublished X X love and strength. In this new work, Gianna back to the melody part, the protagonist of some of his famous songs of the decade was the song – launch, I without you, make a positive agreement of the two tracks of music Nannini, giving the listener a ‘passionate and romantic love song . Crucial also to Radio Baccano that Radio Italia Solo Musica Italiana, when the of LP, change 24 to your name in the title of the new song Nannini. Jovanotti All engraving participates exceptionally, in those years interesting proposal from the Italian canzone the author “committed” (thanks to the language of rap, which came from very little in our country). Composition and content of civil protest, marks a turning point in rockeuse Siena, which will participate in a few months later to protest the use of nuclear tests in Mururoa in atoll. E ‘il 1995, despite output, anticipated by the individual Wonderful creature, sent on January 1, just one minute after midnight, from all Italian radios. The piece then becomes one of the most popular of the recent production of Gianna Nannini: song of love declared and screamed with intensity and reverence, almost the same as Bello and not nine years before. Then the beautiful cover of Luigi Tenco, Far, far away, rearranged in a rock, at the end of a tribute, and at the same time, a smart and current reworking of a great classic. 1996 is the year of the first study of the collection’s most famous songs of Gianna, Bomboloni anticipated and accompanied by the same name, individual (one of the three original: the other two, contaminated, and extraordinary M’anima).
For a new disk to the new expectation is of two years, but at the end of the summer of 1998, finally, it was the turn of the Heart, produced with the new production by Fabrizio Barbaccia. The album is anticipated from single hundred, perhaps one of the most beautiful songs of recent years, not only of production Sienese artist: the environmentalist theme is perfectly in keeping with the libertarian true inspiration of the author, and gives create a small masterpiece. That is not the only disk, open from exceptionally inhumane One day, raw song that more than at the end of a love, seems to be especially dedicated to the tragic death of Conny Planck, followed Nights without heart, Tell me tell me, among the best known songs and melting kiss, which recalls the atmosphere of his first rock album of the late seventies. In 2000 Enzo Alo, famous director of animated cartoons, contact Gianna Nannini for the soundtrack of a new production, Momo alla conquista del tempo: from this collaboration was born Air, in 2001, which later became the title of a disc overtime release in the spring of 2002. Air is entrusted to the production of Peter Zumsteg and Armand Volker, to which the Nannini had been artistically linked in the past, and looks like a different disk, born of new collaborations and musical ideas of great news, first of all the electronics, in which Gianna merges its rock Mediterranean. The texts are written for four hands with pulp writer Isabella Santacroce: the result is a disc of great value, appreciated by critics and audiences. Music incisive, entrusted to the technique of Christian Lohr, teacher in development of artificial sounds, and very airy, as the title announces, not only in the track that gives the title to the disc, but also in men in half, second single (also released ‘ it as anticipating the album about twenty days before the CD), Volo, and especially Sveglia. Nannini The use of passion in all its power in Immortal, perhaps the most beautiful song on the disc, and while the drama of the situation, beautifully brutal in extraordinary. In early 2004, Gianna Nannini Perle public, a collection of his most famous songs, rearrange, and revised, with strings and piano, striking a key and wisdom of great music. They are accompanied by the single Amandoti, cover of CCCP, a tango, thanks to the superb interpretation of Gianna finally receives the correct rating. The new disc of original, “Thanks”, Arrives in stores two years later, in January 2006, immediately gaining the first rank and a great radio airplay of the single launch Six in soul.
