The second LP for which Dalla wrote both lyrics and music, Lucio Dalla was released by RCA Italiana, and is generally considered among his finest works.

It contains some of his most popular songs, such as "Anna e Marco", "Milano" and "L'anno che verrà".

"Cosa sarà", written with Ron, is sung together with Francesco De Gregori.

[2] The album was originally scheduled for release in late 1978, but RCA chose to postpone it to push sales of the Dalla-De Gregori single "Ma come fanno i marinai" for the 1978 Christmas period.

[1] All songs by Lucio Dalla, except "Cosa sarà", music co-written with Ron.
