"29 settembre" ("29th of September") is a song composed in 1966 by Italian musician Lucio Battisti and lyricist Mogol and brought to success by Equipe 84 in March 1967. It topped the Italian charts for five weeks[1] and led to Battisti's definitive affirmation as a composer.[2] It is Notable for the innovative lyrics and sound[3] heavily influenced by psychedelia, so much so that the song is nicknamed "Italy's Sergeant Pepper's" for the impact and the influence it had on the Italian music scene.[4][5][2]
In 1969, the song was reinterpreted by Battisti himself, and later by many other artists in Italy and abroad. It is one of the best-known songs both in Battisti's and in the Equipe 84 production, and is considered a classic of Italian pop music.[6]
