This new opus focuses on the history of Greater Greece (Magna Græcia), the name given by the ancient Greeks to their colonies that occupied the southern coasts of Italy.All of this is set against a mythological background, because my family's native village is just a few kilometres from the town of Scilla, in Calabria, where, at the entrance to the harbour that opens onto the Strait of Messina, stands the mythical rock (evoked in Homer's Odyssey, among others) or hiding Scylla, a monster with six heads and twelve feet that devours sailors, as well as, on the other side, the equally terrifying Charybde, a sort of whirling abyss that swallows everything in its path.
This is a very personal and intimate album. There will be no guests on this adventure where I pay tribute to my origins.
In addition to the usual keyboards and orchestrations, instruments like the lyre, the harp, the bouzouki or even the mandolin appear.
