This essay by Silvia Argento explores the history of translation in music, focusing on how songwriters adapt and reinterpret works from other artists. Through an analysis of figures such as Fabrizio De André, Francesco De Gregori, and Giorgio Gaber, the author examines the relationship between original works and their adaptations, questioning the concept of fidelity in artistic creation and the distinction between "beautifully unfaithful" and "faithfully ugly" translations. It is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of language, music, and the art of adaptation in contemporary popular culture.
