Effedia, sulla mia cattiva strada

Duration: 109’ | In Italian with English subtitles  

Documentary on Italian artist Fabrizio De André in collaboration with Fondazione De André.

Born into a rich Genoese family in 1940, De André quickly showed both musical talent and a rebellious streak. He dropped out of law school after receiving royalties from a song he sold to the famous Italian pop star Mina. This song was the first evidence of his lifelong fascination with the low-life characters populating Genoa’s back streets. De André famously sang: "Nothing grows on diamonds, flowers grow in the dung."

This documentary features songs and interviews with De André and other people related to the artist and his music.
