The Artist: Gianna Nannini

Gianna Nannini (Siena, June 14, 1954) is one of the most important, long-standing, and internationally recognized artists in Italian music. With a gritty voice, unmistakable rock style, and a career spanning over fifty years of stages, records, and successes across Europe. I Maschi, released in 1987 as a single from the album Maschi e Altri, is one of her most famous and iconic songs — an anthem that has captivated generations of listeners far beyond Italian borders. Nannini built her international popularity primarily in Germany, where she is considered a true star, and has collaborated with world-renowned producers such as Conny Plank and Armand Volker, both featured on this maxi single. Her signature on an eighties limited edition picture disc is a relic of extraordinary value for any collector of Italian music and European rock.

Every MTM autograph is accompanied free of charge by an MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA), a document issued by our experts declaring the provenance and veracity of the autograph based on our direct knowledge.

What is an original autographed vinyl?

An original autographed vinyl is a record on which the musician's signature was applied directly in certified presence, without intermediaries. It is distinctly different from printed editions with facsimile signatures due to several verifiable elements: the three-dimensionality of the ink on the surface, the natural and irregular pressure of the stroke, and the spontaneity and uniqueness of the graphic gesture. In the case of a limited edition picture disc, the collectible value is further multiplied: the medium itself is already rare, with limited circulation and photographic artwork that no standard edition can match. The addition of an original autograph, declared by the included free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA), transforms this vinyl into a unique and unrepeatable piece.
