Seven years from his last album, Enzo Iannacci is back with this work that includes 17 pieces of which 13 are completely new, written with his son Paolo, who wrote the music for and artistically produced the whole album.This marks the return of one the most important artists of the Italian musical landscape, who has been making music, cinema, theatre and television for forty years, remaining loyal to his own language, never being ashamed to say that the "King is naked", mocking the powerful defending poorer social classes, offended or emarginated, whence he himself comes and which he never forgets.
The album bears on its cover Jannacci's father's picture and the introduction, inside the cover, is of Nobel Prize Dario Fo.
These airplanes are not the ones we have to watch continuously, with enormous sadness, every day int he news, but "aeroplanes that have always remained on the ground because they never fixed them decently, grounded in metaphysical meditation of future destinies of Man and the world".
The CD's first track is an new version of "Via del Campo", a song written by Iannacci himself with Fabrizio De André, but never before performed by the artist who releases his popular vein in the ballad "Cesare"(track n°4), history of a partisan called Garibaldi, immediately followed by "Brutta Gente", where he shoots his bullets against those who, for the sake of their own appearance, are ready to wear any uniform and they continue to change owners without caring about what is really going on around them, concerned solely with "a few thousand liras and the murderer's license " and that "instead of their heart bear a turned off television quiz show ".
The album continues with fun songs such as "GippoGippo", where Renato Pozzetto intervenes and which can heard connecting to the website, or the better known "Rido", already Iannacci's warhorse.
These are alternated with the more rarefied melancholy atmospheres, songs like "Anche oggi piove" (Today it rains to) or "Avevo un sogno" (I had a dream) to finish with "I Mulini dei ricordi" (The memories' windmill), a famous song by French auteur Michel Legrand with Italian lyrics written by son Paolo.
