Diari aperti

Diari aperti is the tenth studio album by Italian singer Elisa, released by Universal Music Group on October 26, 2018.

Ranked 10th of the "50 Best Italian Albums of 2010s" by Rolling Stone Italia,[3] in 2019 the project was reissued in a double album, Diari aperti (Segreti svelati), composed of the first disc with Italian songs and the second with the English songs already released on the EP Secret Diaries, alongside new bonus tracks and collaborations with Francesco De Gregori, Carmen Consoli, Rkomi, Carl Brave and Calcutta.

[...] [Reading the diaries] moved me to find there different bonds and feelings that time has not nicked.The recording project includes eleven tracks in Italian, written and composed by Elisa, with contributions from Davide Petrella, Federica Abbate, Calcutta and Carl Brave, and the vocal participation of Francesco De Gregori.

"[28] Mattia Barro of Rolling Stone Italia wrote that although the album appears to be "a record in the middle", because in Diari Aperti "one half can perceive a desire to get back into the game" of the singer, while "in some episodes, she decides to break out of the rules" and in others "she does nothing but be the Elisa we know."

The journalist identified "a triptych of tracks" that stand out for their "natural freshness": "Tutta un'altra storia" with "its own upbeat rhythm" compared to the sounds of Max Gazzè, "L'estate è già fuori", a "calypso pop, fresh, all in major" song interesting for "the use of the melodic reiteration of the sung" and "Come Fosse Adesso", described by the critic as "a very elegant composition that refers to the splendid work on songwriting carried out by Riccardo Sinigallia."

Barro described the song with De Gregori as "the craziest and the most punk," which, with "Promettimi" and "Anche Fragile", turn out to be made with a production that "grants entire attention to the intimacy of these lyrics.

[31] In 2019, after the release of the reissue Diari aperti (Segreti svelati), the project returned to the top ten of FIMI's chart at number six,[32] becoming the eighteenth best-selling album of the year.
