Perché Vuoi Morire / Dedicato A Giancarlo

Released in 1973 on the independent label CGO Record, this single by Paolo Quintilio represents the politically charged atmosphere of the Italian Years of Lead. Produced during a period of significant social upheaval, the record serves as a direct musical reaction to the era's pervasive sense of disillusionment and the specific tragedy surrounding the death of Giancarlo Siani, reflecting the intersection of protest folk music and local political activism in 1970s Italy.

The aesthetic of the release, cataloged as PQ 626, is characteristic of minor-label independent Italian pressings of the decade, prioritizing raw, authentic communication over commercial polish. While Paolo Quintilio remains an elusive figure in the broader discography of Italian singer-songwriters, the work is noted by collectors of rare political vinyl for its stark thematic content and the haunting nature of its tribute, which solidified its status as a niche document of the period's social commentary.
