Burattino senza fili

Burattino senza fili, released in 1977 by Edoardo Bennato, is a concept album that draws on Pinocchio imagery to frame a series of folk-tinged pop rock and rock and roll songs. Bennato combines acoustic guitars, electric riffs, piano and harmonica with theatrical vocal delivery to create playful melodies that carry sharper themes about freedom, control and social conformity. The record is often noted within his catalog for its narrative unity and the way it mixes accessible tunes with a satirical, storyteller sensibility.
