Out June 6: “Nascere qui,” the New Album by Plenilunio — A Concept Album Weaving Together Music, Memory, and Place
On June 6, Plenilunio release their new album Nascere qui on all digital platforms and in physical format. The album is published by the Scintille label (by Sciopero Records) and distributed by La Contorsionista.
Formed in 1977 in Acqui Terme, Plenilunio — made up of founding members Roberto Maggiotto (vocals), Valter Camparo (keyboards), and Davide Pronzato (guitar), joined by Michele Pronzato (guitar), Antonio Pirrone (drums), and Daniele Pietrasanta (bass) — return with their fourth studio album, following Respiri lunghi 1000 miglia (2012), Vivo controvento (2017), and Il gioco imperfetto (2021).
Nascere qui (To Be Born Here)is a concept album that traces a life through music, rooted in the band’s hometown of Acqui Terme. The album cover and select booklet illustrations were created by Carmelina Barbato, who gifted the band a series of paintings depicting the city that has welcomed her for most of her life. These visual contributions open the door to an intimate and shared sonic journey. The album centres on the deep relationships between the band and themes like memory, identity and the places where we grow up — brought to life through urban glimpses, recollections, and emotions.
The seven-track album blends elements of progressive rock and pop. It opens with Il Gatto e Le Lucciole (The Cat and the Fireflies), a vignette of the city’s nighttime characters, followed by C’erano Una Volta (Acqui e noi) (Once Upon a Time — Acqui and Us) — a 14-minute suite that forms the narrative core of the record, tracing an imaginary timeline of memories in a shared place. The single Ci Sentiamo (Talk To You) captures a moment of life filtered through the digital age, while E Rimani Un Fiore (And You Remain a Flower) is a heartfelt tribute to Alberto Gaviglio — musician, friend, and founder of La Locanda delle Fate, who supported the band since their early days.
The album continues with Lacrime Dall’Aldilà (Tears from the Afterworld), which poetically imagines the thermal waters of La Bollente — Acqui’s symbolic monument — as tears flowing from a distant divinity. Ebbro di Te (Drunk on You), featuring guest guitarist Riccardo Pronzato and longtime bassist Roberto Camparo, is a love letter to music itself — the force that united the band’s founders in their youth. Closing the album is Signora Della Notte (Lady of the Night), one of Plenilunio’s earliest songs, written in 1983 and revived for the occasion to bring this human and artistic journey full circle.
With Nascere qui, Plenilunio reaffirm their signature style — a fusion of progressive rock, art rock, and Italian songwriting with pop undertones. Their ability to blend genres and storytelling results in a sound rich in imagery, introspection, and emotional depth. By anchoring their music in the city of Acqui Terme, the band has crafted a concept album that’s deeply personal yet universally resonant — an invitation to reflect, remember, and reconnect.
