Funambola is an album of the Italian singer Patrizia Laquidara, released in 2007 by Ponderosa Music&Art. It includes 13 songs and it is inspired by the French tightrope walker Philippe Petit, who walked on a steel wire between the Twin Towers of New York City.[ citation needed ]
Tightrope walking has this time both a physical and an intimate meaning, as a never ending research of a mental equilibrium, perhaps lasting, when found, only the space of a morning. [1]
Intimate thought and introspection are actually the main themes of Patrizia Laquidara's songs. [2]

In 1922, the rise of Benito Mussolini and the creation of the Fascist regime in Italy, which eventually resulted in engaging the country in World War II alongside Nazi Germany, considerably weakened the role of the royal house.
