Among his most famous and beloved songs, we remember "Firenze Canzone Triste" "Pigro" "Lugano Addio" "Monna Lisa". He has performed in countless live concerts and has collaborated with Italian artists such as Lucio Battisti, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Renato Zero, Antonello Venditti, Biagio Antonacci and Umberto Tozzi.

Lugano Addio : youtu.be/-3KtATaeA9M

Farewell, Lugano
The white and blue tennis shoes
Heavy bosoms and red lips
And the trench coat
Oh, Marta, that's how I remember you
Your smile, your hair
Still as the lake 1

"Farewell, Lugano", you were singing 2
While holding my hand
"Sing with me", you said
And sing I did
About a place
I had never seen before

You, you talked to me about borders
Custom officers and smugglers
Your tales would warm me up
And "oh yes, my father", you said
"He fought the war here on the mountains"
And then you asked about mine

And I thought of home
My father, sitting on the beach
The nets hung up drying in the sun
The fishing boats on the high seas
Shells and stars
My father's cursing and his pain

Oh, Marta, that's how I remember you
Your smile and your hair
Still as the lake

"Farewell, Lugano", you were singing
While holding my hand
"Farewell", you were singing
And not out of fake naivety
You actually believed it
And now I believe in it too, now that I'm here

Oh, my Marta, farewell, that's how I remember you
Your smile and your hair
Still as the lake
