This album, and in particular the song "Mi Historia Entre Tus Dedos", made a great impact on the world of popular and romantic music while I was living in Mexico. With its emotionally wrenching lyrics and melodies, this album came straight from the soul of the artist. The first track is worth the cost of the album.

When you listen "Historia" or "Una chica normal", the pain caused by the lost love and the love for an OK looking girl are part of daily life but also are part of the life as a whole. they are the little puzzle pieces that make up your being.

i find that there is nothing sexier than gianluca's emotional deliverance of his thought-provoking songs, especially "ci vuoi tornare con me". give me gianluca's CD, a glass of wine, and i'm set to go.

Manco dall'Italia da un paio d'anni, e quando quest'estate me ne sono andata in Messico per un mese, chi sento alla radio? Gianluca G. con "Mi historia entre tus dedos". Non ci potevo credere, che piacevole sorpresa, mi sembrava quasi di essere tornata finalmente a casa. Cosa posso dirvi... mi piaciono tutti gli album di Gianluca, ma il "vecchio" Destinazione paradiso rimane sempre il migliore! Ed é stupendo anche in spagnolo.

I dont' know why some of the reviewers are saying he took his own life/tragic death etc.
get your facts straight!

I simply adore Gianluca Grignani and I have every single CD but not this one. I used to own it. The Italian version is far far superior even down to his Curt Cobain screams done in tasteful Italiano! The Italian version is EXQUISITE; I do not know either language.

[This review is for the native-Italian-language version, DESTINAZIONE PARADISO, also available on amazon.com. I've only heard one Spanish language version of a GG song, "Mi historia entre tus dedos", and it sounded good to me, pero no hablo espanol.]
Grignani's debut album has several potential pop classics: "La mia storia tra le dita", "Falco a meta'", "Primo treno per Marte", and the title song (compiled later on both IL GIORNO PERFETTO and SUCCO DI VITA). I'm a fan who believes that he has matured with each album. The other songs here are all entertaining with amusing lyrics and tunes (e.g. "Cammina Bambina" ("Get Real, Baby"). If you find you enjoy other Grignani CDs you may have picked up, I recommend the purchase of DESTINAZIONE, too. N.B.: If you're a student of the Italian language, GG sings his (often beautiful and at times even moving) lyrics very clearly. Here's a teaser:

Primo viaggio su Marte / siamo tutti nervosi / tra poco si parte / c'e' qualcuno che dice / e gli trema la voce / che la terra e' ormai morta, / non si puo' restare / e la gente si accalca / che fa pena a guardare / voglion tutti partire salire...

First voyage to Mars / we're all nervous, we depart soon / someone says (with a trembling voice) that by now Earth is dead - we can't stay / and the people crowd / it's painful to watch / everyone wants to leave, to board...

PS: How many 5-star reviews have I posted for Grignani? Penso che lui mi abbia fatto la sua b***h. I want a free concert ticket!
PSS: In response to those who posted notes (under the Spanish language version, DESTINO PARAISO) of Gianluca's untimely demise by his own hand: GG did NOT off himself. He's alive and well and continues to produce beautiful music. His latest (2005) is one of his very best: IL RE DEL NIENTE. I recommend buying RE even if you prefer him in Spanish; native Spanish speakers often praise the beauty of the Italian language. Show love and support for "family" and purchase the Italian language CDs, too.

I think this has been the best CD i have ever heard, all these songs a great! I can hear this CD over and over and i wont get tierd of it. --no importa lo que digan otros este CD es muy fantastico.

maybe this is the spanish version of this album, but the cover of my copy which was bought in Gianluca's home country of Italy says "Destinazione Paradiso". Please post.

With no doubt he is included as one my favorite musicians
