I was born on July 26, 1975. Exactly one year earlier Robert Wyatt released Rock Bottom and married his current partner, Alfie. This strange astral coincidence makes me very happy, since if every music lover has a watershed moment, a before and an after, for me that moment was hearing Rock Bottom; an unsurpassed example of deep melancholy and sadness paired with an enormous passion for life, a moving, timeless dialogue capable of speaking to multiple generations, embracing humanity as a whole.I make my own the words of La Monte Young: "If we define as beautiful what we appreciate and become interested in what we find beautiful, in the end we'll always be interested in the same things (that is, the things we already appreciate). I'm not interested in beauty; I'm interested in the new, even if it might be disgusting". I believe that once these words are truly understood, one can become genuinely free from every preconception.I occasionally contribute to Guido Bellachioma's magazine PROG Italy. In 2017, together with my friend Valeria Ferro, I published my first book, titled "The 101 Tales of Canterbury", on the long history of the Canterbury scene. In 2018, together with Valeria Ferro, I contributed a lengthy introduction to Antonello Cresti's book "Experimental Kraut Grooves". In 2022 I published "La musica che resiste: Come sfatare il mito della superiorità del rock del passato" ("Music That Endures: Debunking the Myth of the Superiority of Past Rock"). Duecentocinquantadue dischi da non perdere pubblicati dal 2000 al 2019". In 2025, thanks to the publishing house Il cuscino di stelle, "The 101 Tales of Canterbury" was reprinted.In 2025, through the publishing house Ledizioni, together with Antonio Silvestri, I published the first volume of UltraSuoni Italy, dedicated to "New Italian voices". I collaborate with Claudio Dosa, on his YouTube channel, making videos dedicated to cinema. We have focused in particular on Michelangelo Antonioni and Ettore Scola.

New wave heroes in the '80s who later turned to hard rock in the '90s, Pelù and co. have always stood out for their distinctively political lyrics, which sketched out a personal vision of the world
The Angine de Poitrine case is just the latest. In an overcrowded rock landscape, identity is a decisive lever. Between anonymity, worldbuilding and the construction of an imaginary, the covered face becomes a tool to make the music more recognizable
Few images are as iconic as that of a musician picking up an electric guitar and launching into a solo. Here's a possible, annotated playlist dedicated to guitar solos from the '60s to today
After forty years, the single "17 Re", which gave its name to the Florentine band's most celebrated album, is available for the first time
