Nuvole Production

Nuvole Production (often shortened to Nuvole) is an Italian independent record label headquartered in Milan. It was founded in 1990 by the celebrated Genoese singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André, one of the most influential figures in Italian popular music. Since its creation the label has been closely tied to De André's artistic legacy, and it is currently directed by Dori Ghezzi, De André's widow and a well-known singer in her own right. For roughly two decades the label's catalogue focused almost exclusively on Fabrizio De André himself. Up to 2011, Nuvole Production dealt exclusively with the publication of De André collections, reissues and archival projects. This included the 2004 release of the video of the famous Teatro Brancaccio concert in Rome, recorded in February 1998, and the two volumes of "In direzione ostinata e contraria" issued in 2005 and 2006. In 2008 the label published the docufilm "Effedia", curated by Teresa Marchesi. A significant expansion came in 2011 with the "Dentro Faber" series, an eight-DVD collection largely made up of previously unreleased content. That same year Nuvole Production began to look beyond the De André catalogue: it produced the artist Andrea Giops and his album "Io non sono Giuseppe verdi", the first external artist the label chose to believe in, with artistic production entrusted to Luvi De André. Also in 2011 the label released "Sogno N°1", a collection of Fabrizio De André songs fully rearranged in symphonic key by the London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of English producer Geoff Westley, featuring two virtual duets with Franco Battiato and Vinicio Capossela. In 2012 the label published the new album by Blastema, "Lo stato in cui sono stato". Nuvole Production's roster has included Fabrizio De André, Cristiano De André, Andrea Giops and Blastema. The label remains a small, family-linked Italian independent operation whose identity is inseparable from the De André musical heritage, while gradually opening its catalogue to selected new artists.

Nuvole Production was founded in 1990 by Fabrizio De André, the Genoese singer-songwriter widely regarded as one of the most important figures in Italian music. The label was established in Milan, where it has kept its headquarters, and it was conceived as a vehicle for managing and publishing De André's own recorded output and related projects. After the founder's death, the label continued under the direction of Dori Ghezzi, De André's widow, who remains its director. For its first two decades the label's activity was essentially dedicated to Fabrizio De André. Up to 2011, Nuvole Production dealt exclusively with the publication of De André collections. Among the earliest notable releases was the 2004 video of the celebrated concert at the Teatro Brancaccio in Rome, recorded in February 1998. In 2005 the label issued "In direzione ostinata e contraria" volume 1, followed in 2006 by volume 2. In 2008 it published the docufilm "Effedia", curated by Teresa Marchesi. The year 2011 marked a turning point. Nuvole Production released the "Dentro Faber" series, an eight-DVD collection whose contents were largely previously unreleased. It also began to work with artists outside the De André family circle: it produced Andrea Giops and his album "Io non sono Giuseppe verdi", described as the first external artist the label decided to believe in, with artistic production entrusted to Luvi De André. In the same year the label published "Sogno N°1", a collection of Fabrizio De André songs completely rearranged in symphonic key by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by the English producer Geoff Westley; the record features two virtual duets with Franco Battiato and Vinicio Capossela. In 2012 Nuvole Production published the new album by Blastema, "Lo stato in cui sono stato". Across its history the label's roster has included Fabrizio De André, Cristiano De André, Andrea Giops and Blastema. Nuvole Production remains a small, independent Italian label whose identity is closely bound to the De André musical heritage, while selectively extending its catalogue to new artists.
