Fiorello Culattini - I Frocioni

Review by Drew Hammond

Album Review: I Frocioni by Fiorello Culattini Alright, let’s talk about I Frocioni—this little gem of a folk album that feels like sitting under an olive tree somewhere in the Italian countryside. It’s got that raw, earthy vibe you only stumble upon when someone pours their heart into music without overthinking it. Fiorello Culattini gives us a taste of Italy’s soul with this release on Tiber Record, and honestly? It sticks with you. First off, I gotta say—the title track “I Frocioni” hits different. There’s just something about how simple yet layered it feels. The melody wraps around you like one of those old wool sweaters your nonna used to knit. You know, the ones that are kinda scratchy but make you feel warm anyway. The instrumentation is modest—acoustic guitar, maybe some tambourine—but man, does it transport you. Every strum feels like Culattini is telling you a story he doesn’t want to forget. And weirdly enough, I can’t get the chorus out of my head. Like, I’ve caught myself humming it while chopping onions for dinner. That’s how real music works, right? It sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Then there’s the second version of “I Frocioni” (because why not have two?). This one’s stripped down even more, almost like Culattini wanted to show you what happens when you peel back all the layers. It’s hauntingly beautiful, in a way that makes you pause whatever you’re doing and just listen. It’s not flashy or trying too hard—it’s just honest. And honestly? Sometimes that’s all we need. What strikes me most about this album is how unapologetically Italian it feels. Not in some cheesy caricature way, but in the sense that it carries tradition without being stuck in the past. Folk music often gets dismissed as outdated, but Culattini reminds us why these songs matter—they connect us to who we are, where we came from, and maybe even where we’re going. Here’s the thing, though: after listening to I Frocioni, I started thinking about frogs. Yeah, random, I know. But hear me out—the word "frocioni" apparently refers to big frogs, which is oddly poetic if you think about it. Frogs are these tiny creatures making huge sounds, echoing through quiet nights. Kinda like this album—it’s small, humble, but its impact lingers long after the last note fades. So yeah, check this out if you’re into folk music that feels lived-in and true. Just don’t blame me if you end up daydreaming about olive trees—and amphibians.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *I Frocioni* by Fiorello Culattini is a hidden gem in Italian folk music. It’s simple yet captivating, with just two tracks, both named *I Frocioni*. Released under Tiber Record, it feels like a musical echo of Italy’s rich cultural roots. Not many people know about it, but those who do appreciate its raw charm. Sometimes, less really is more.

Le canzoni del cavolo popolari che sono al limite dell'offesa se non un po' offensive lo sono eccome,anche se un po'di simpatia ce l'hanno però dai non và bene sta robaccia di bassordine.???

Andrebbe salvata in mp3, e il 45 giri originale conservato come un tesoro raro, perchè a momenti rischia di sparire da YouTube e sapete a cosa mi riferisco

È una storia biografica penso : l'autore , maschio romano molto ambito da ambo i sessi , narra delle sue sgradite vicende con parenti , amici, soci rivelatisi omosessuali troppo smaniosi e sconsiderati della sessualità del nostro protagonista . Queste vicende portano a una scelta forse drastica : lamierarsi il culo .
