Francesco De Gregori is one of the most important songwriters of the Italian music scene.

In his songs musically various sounds meet, from rock to songwriting, with sometimes references to popular music, while in the lyrics there is a wide use of synaesthesia and metaphor, often of not immediate interpretation, with passages of intimate, literary-poetic and ethical-political inspiration, in which references to current events and history find space.

In his long career he has published several works, with public and critical success.

​

The Recital "Viva l'Italia" with songs by Francesco De Gregori was held on March 17, 2016 at the Prefecture of Pesaro, on the occasion of the "National Day of Unity, of the Constitution, of the Anthem and of the Flag", in memory of the proclamation of the Unification of Italy in Turin, on March 17, 1861.
