Marina Rei's "Per essere felici" released in Italy

Marina Rei's new album of unreleased songs, "Per essere felici (To be happy)", was released on June 26, six years after her previous one. The Roman singer-songwriter, who is celebrating 25 years of her career this year, tells Lorenzo Santangelo about the entire creative process of the album. And that time at Ennio Morricone's house: "Despite his efforts to put me at ease, I was frightened to sing and play in front of him!"
