Gino Paoli

Gino Paoli was one of the true poets of Italian song. Tracks like Il cielo in una stanza and Sapore di sale have outlived generations, and that staying power tells you everything. I'm fascinated that a man born in Monfalcone and raised in Genoa became not only a defining songwriter but also a politician, living a life as eventful as his lyrics. He passed in spring 2026, but those warm, aching melodies aren't going anywhere. For me he's proof that a great song bends time, and I find myself reaching for his music whenever a summer evening calls for the taste of salt and memory.
