Malinconoia

The year 1991 brought an album that resonated strongly in the Italian music scene: Malinconoia by Marco Masini. This work not only stood out for its particular sound but also earned Masini the Festivalbar award that year, consolidating an artistic proposal that was already taking shape. Known for a wide-ranging vocal timbre, Marco Masini had forged his style under the guidance of Giancarlo Bigazzi, who was key to launching his career. Together they created pieces that would become classics of Italian music, and in Malinconoia, one can feel that lyrical and melodic depth. Songs like the eponymous Malinconoia and Perché lo fai are examples of the atmosphere that defines this album.

About the album

Malinconoia, according to DoReSol

The trajectory of Marco Masini, born in Florence in 1964, shows an early dedication to music. From childhood, he explored this path, forming the band Errata Corrige during his high school years and receiving training from masters like Walter Savelli. However, his musical passion clashed with family expectations; the life of a nocturnal musician while studying accounting (Ragioneria) became unsustainable, leading him to abandon his studies and face disagreements with his father. He even collaborated with his sister Susanna in the family bar they opened in Florence in 1980, an experience that perhaps nurtured the sensitivity he would later express in his lyrics.

The success of Malinconoia at the 1991 Festivalbar was a milestone, but Marco Masini's career is marked by other significant moments. Already in 1990, he had won the Sanremo Festival in the Novità category with his song Disperato, and he would triumph again at the same Festival in 2004 with L'uomo volante. More recently, in 2021, he demonstrated his versatility by being the author of Superbabbo, the winning song of the Zecchino d'Oro, performed by Zoe Adamello. With a career totaling over seven million copies sold globally, these achievements underscore the resonance of his music across the decades.
