Thinking of how the digipack for my first idea would look like, I've figured out I would like it to be very visual like the video, with stills nature or shadows reflected upon a sunbathed wall. It has to transmit the influence of the Mediterranean on the artist.
As he is an organic musician, I would not give his personal appearance too much importance. I'd include a photograph of him in a small square in the back next to the tracks. However, both the cover and the interior of the digipack would be filled with faded colours, recurrent images which suggest warmth and melancholy. As I am saying, I think it would be beautiful to play with light and shadow, and I found a collage of an artist who wraps blank bodies with hands. I believe something similar would be very effective inside, as the song keeps going on about a girl he apparently cannot reach.
Another artist paints lightly above nature, and I think that, as I'd expect the singer to be a proud Italian who undeniably loves his country, I would alter in a simolar way a picture of the coast or the province of Lazio, where he is originally from.
The loneliness he expresses in the song could be translated too by including a picture similar to this, an aerial view full of people who stand by themselves, with massive shadows projecting in the empty pavement around them.
Of course, I have to narrow all these ideas down, but I think the aesthetic is similar throughout my examples and could work very well with the image of Calcutta. I took a picture of my own which sums up all my choices and seems very suggestive to me, perhaps it could work:
