Gino Paoli plays Avo Session

The Italian canzone needed new input, but what kind? Gino Paoli found the answer by studying italianità closely and critically before he co-founded the 'Genovese School' in the fifties, laying the foundation for today’s cantautori scene. Today Paoli is the honoured godfather of all cantautori. He plays peaceful, melancholically beautiful songs that are carried by his sheer lightness. Italianità has been redefined.
