Folk It!

Fabrizio de André was born on 18 February 1940 in Pegli, near Genua. His dad owned a law firm. When he was around 20 years old, Fabrizio started writing and recording songs. His compositions were mostly inspired by French chansons, particularly those of Georges Brassens.

Initially, he struggles to find success, and his performances also fail to make much impact. As a result, he seriously considers joining his father’s law firm.

Thankfully, he persists in pursuing his passion for songwriting…
