Theorius Campus

Theorius Campus is the debut album by Italian singer-songwriters Antonello Venditti and Francesco De Gregori. Released by It in 1972, it marks the first and only collaborative project for both artists, who later decided to embark on solo careers. Although De Gregori and Venditti played on the whole album, they only share vocal duties on two songs, "Dolce signora che bruci" and "In mezzo alla città", alternating as lead vocalist in all the others.

De Gregori and Venditti made a deliberate decision of not having their names mentioned on the front cover, which shows a painting of Ophelia by English painter John Everett Millais.
