 Songs like Voglio and Oggi Ho Imparato A Volare were optimistic hymns for the revolutionary youth of the Italian left, and Diesel celebrated both Finardi's life on the road as a musician and the life of everyday working-class Italians.Finardi started to make his transition from this turbulent period of Italian history and its cultural landscape with the album Blitz and single Extraterrestre in 1978, and Roccando Rollando (Rocking and Rolling) in 1979, which contained Legalizzatela, his song-manifesto for the legalization of cannabis.Other significant hits were Patrizia, and the bitter-sweet ballad Le Ragazze Di Osaka in 1981.
