In 1984 Frank Zappa released an album titled Francesco Zappa, unknowingly becoming the fi rst contemporary interpreter of the work of this unknown Milanese author, and eff ectively marking the beginning of his rediscovery. It was an incredible fate that of Francesco Zappa who, after a long life of success and honors in the Dutch and German courts, died in poverty and even experienced a kind of “damnatio memoriae” due to the contempt shown to him by Leopold Mozart.
