My Take
I have a soft spot for musicians who refuse to stay in one lane, and Rita Marcotulli is exactly that kind of artist. To improvise convincingly as a jazz pianist and then write scores disciplined enough to win a David di Donatello is a rare double act, demanding both spontaneity and architectural patience. She is not the sort of name that trends, and I suspect she prefers it that way. There is something deeply Roman about her music to my ear, warm, conversational, unhurried. To me she represents the quietly essential craftsperson whose work outlasts the louder reputations around her.
