Gaetano wrote some of the songs that are part of our country's memory. Songs of memory are important. Think, for example, of Zazà or I papaveri alti alti – these are songs of memory that haven't been big commercial hits or whatnot, but they don't just last for the duration of a fad or a particular period; they're the ones that stay in the collective memory and are passed down orally.
