One of the key pieces on the album is Quale allegria. It is said that Michele Mondella, who was Dalla's press chief, revealed that the singer-songwriter confessed to him, shortly before his death, that he had written this song just a week after losing his mother. Another notable track, Treno a vela, makes a veiled reference to Krisma (then known as Chrisma) and their foray into the disco genre, through a verse that mentions people arriving from the Veneto to see the singer Patrizio and his "porno comizio".
The album, which includes 8 songs, presents a work where Lucio Dalla is the sole author of the texts and music. Among the tracks that make up the tracklist are Come è profondo il mare, Treno a vela, Il cucciolo Alfredo, Corso Buenos Aires, Disperato erotico stomp, Quale allegria, …e non andar più via, and Barcarola.
