After joining Gatti (the Cats), Francesco Guccini began composing, later, teaming up with a very popular Italian group called Nomadi (the Nomads). In 1967, the talented artist decided to start his solo career, recording Folkbeat, No. 1, followed by 1970 s Due Anni Dopo and 1971 s L isola Non Trovata. During the following years Francesco Guccini became one of the most prolific local composers.
