Cool lecture on the history of Italo disco, drawing a line from post-War Italy through the 'years of lead' to a retreat from politics, to which Italo was the soundtrack.

Just left this comment on discogs, where I found the video - but it's interesting the Italo obsession with America, given that the American reception of Italo reflected a European obsession, if maybe not a specifically Italian obsession, e.g. Sharivari.
