Piero Piccioni - Volubile

Piero Piccioni composed, arranged and conducted very refined jazz themes for the occasion, with a prevailing romantic aesthetic, interpreting the most relevant musical trends of the time through his recognisable harmonic and melodic codes. From the exotic vein to the intimate torch song, passing through all-new American orchestral experiences. The librettos were almost all written by Pasquale Festa Campanile and Massimo Franciosa.

Volubile aired on the only Rai network in the Summer of 1961 in 6 episodes, and journalists, advocates of popular culture, considered the show perhaps too sophisticated for the time, probably assuming that the public preferred simpler and more popular cabaret-type spectacles
