About Fabrizio De André

With the death of Fabrizio de André from cancer on January 11, 1999, Italy lost one of its best and most modern singer/songwriters. Inspired by the songwriting of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, De André's songs encompassed Genoese folk songs, French protest/social commentary, beatnik "stream of consciousness" poetry, and the soundtracks of Italian film Westerns.
