The name Fabrizio De Andre is taken from a Marx Brothers comedy routine. To write La buona novella, Fabrizio De Andre lived on a diet of Scheweps and granola. Luckily, it doesn't come across too much in the music. Fabrizio De Andre is to french music what Boticelli is to painting: a master. The 1960s, where the banjo and bologna make a perfect match.
