Claudio Lolli

Aspettando Godot Claudio Lolli Coloured edition

"Aspettando Godot" is Claudio Lolli's full-length debut on EMI label, sponsored by his friend Guccini. Only the cover, depicting an Italian 5000

Lire banknote of the time with the artist drawn in place of the originalCristoforo Colombo, is an original 'business card'; together with the title,

stolen by Samuel Beckett's homonymous play, it becomes a declaration of intent: to tell the absurdity and contradictions of those years' society and of

life itself, with personal and current references rather than generic or philosophical ones. Those written by Lolli are practically little poems, sung

on acoustic guitar arpeggios and classical music accompaniments. Not bad for a boy who was only 22!
