Discover the story of the song > Vecchio frack – Domenico Modugno

The song describes a man in a tuxedo walking through empty streets at night, carrying a cane, wearing a top hat, cufflinks, a blue silk bow tie, and a gardenia flower on his chest. He walks slowly, looking melancholic and absent-minded, saying goodnight to everything he sees. As dawn arrives, the man disappears, and his hat, flower, and tuxedo are seen floating gently down the river towards the sea. The song ends with the man saying goodbye to the world, to memories, to a dream, and to a lost moment of love.
