Antonello (real name Antonio) was born on 8th March 1949 in Rome, Italy. Apart from singing he also writes songs and plays the piano. He was married to Simona Izzo and has a son, Francesco.
His career started in the early 1970s with his first LP ‘Theorius Campus’ which was recorded with another famous singer, Francesco de Gregori. This LP, however, was not very successful but at least Antonello showed his singing talent. In fact, he continued releasing songs in the following 4 decades until his last album ‘Tortuga’ in 2015.
Amongst his most famous hits, there are ‘Roma Capoccia’, Benvenuti in Paradiso’. ‘In questo mondo di Ladri’, ‘Buona Domenica’, ‘Amici Mai’ and ‘Ci vorrebbe un’Amico’.
