ABSTRACT

Genoa, in the Fifties. The history of Genoese cantautori came to life along two streets: corso Torino and via Rimassa, that leads all the way to the sea. This is where Bruno Lauzi and Luigi Tenco used to live and where they often got together to play, at the Reverberi brothers’ house, nearby. Umberto Bindi also lived not far away. These blokes were all brought together by their youth, their music and their neighbourhood: the Foce. (Comandè and Bellantuono, 2014, p. 20) 2
