"Le storie di ieri" by Giorgio Canali & Rossofuoco tells the story of a father and son, and the generational differences between them. The father has lived through difficult times, with many disappointments and hardships, but he still holds on to his beliefs and reads the newspapers every morning. He believes that he has his own ideas, but his son is more rebellious and free-spirited. The son is compared to a pirate ship, symbolizing his wild and adventurous nature. The song also touches on political themes, referencing Mussolini and a movement that the son sees as a potential force for change. However, the son eventually becomes disillusioned and tired of following kites, sitting among close memories and distant noises, contemplating the world around him. The lyrics also mention the death of horses in Salò out of boredom, and the disappointment in poets who are seen as ugly creatures. Overall, "Le storie di ieri" reflects the difference in perspective and experiences between generations, and the longing for dreams and ideals, while also acknowledging the disillusionment and challenges faced along the way.
