MiBACT opens music portal with thousands of songs listenable for free

The Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism presented in Rome the portal Italian Songs 1900-2000: a great resource with dozens of playlists of Italian music from 1900 to 2000, which can be listened to for free (after installing the Spotify program). A total of about 200,000 songs are collected in the portal’s catalog, which can be reached at www.canzoneitaliana.it.

There is really everything in the portal: from the masterpieces of Area to the progressive of PFM, from the rock of CCCP and Litfiba to the political songs of Giorgio Gaber and Francesco Guccini, from the pop of Mina, Celentano, Edoardo Vianello, Peppino di Capri and others to the songwriting of Fabrizio De Andrè, Ivano Fossati, Pierangelo Bertoli and others. Then there is no shortage of the best-known names in Italian music, from Zucchero to Vasco Rossi, Iva Zanicchi to Gigliola Cinquetti, Lucio Battisti to Eros Ramazzotti, and on to Laura Pausini and Andrea Bocelli. Then there are special sections devoted to children’s songs, folk songs, romances, and early 20th-century music. There is also no shortage of a section devoted to the Sanremo festival.

Canzone italiana is made possible thanks to the work of theCentral Institute for Sound and Audiovisual Assets (the former State Records Office), which has collaborated with Spotify, the famous Swedish music service that allows people to listen to songs for free.
