Alessio Lega

Alessio Lega is an Italian folk singer-songwriter and translator known for keeping political folk traditions alive through his gritty vocals and sharp storytelling. Based in Milan, he’s carved a niche blending protest music with historical memory, often reviving works by iconic figures like Ivan Della Mea (who he tributes in *Alessio Lega canta Ivan Della Mea*) and Soviet bard Bulat Okudžava (featured in *Nella corte dell'Arbat*). His releases, like *Mala testa* and *Resistenza e amore*, mix raw acoustic energy with themes of resistance, love, and social justice, while collaborations with storytellers like Ascanio Celestini (*E ti chiamaron matta*) add theatrical depth to his work. Lega’s music feels like a rallying cry—equal parts rebellious, poetic, and unapologetically rooted in Italy’s activist folk scene.
