NoëlGianmaria Testa, the most French-speaking of Italian singers, would have celebrated his 60th birthday on October 17th if he had not passed away prematurely in 2016. Prezioso, which means precious in Italian, is therefore his last posthumous album, an unexpected album, and certainly the most precious of all. It is Gianmaria Testa's final gift, composed of previously unreleased songs mostly recorded in a "voice-guitar" format at his home in Piedmont for future albums or for other artists who frequently sought him out for the quality of his writing and his refined melodies.
