Antonello Venditti (born March 8, 1949) is an Italian singer-songwriter who became famous in 1970s for the social themes of his songs.
Antonello Venditti was born in Rome, the son of a police commissary.
He studied piano in his youth and made his debut in the music world in the early 1970s at the Folkstudio of Rome, together with singers the like of Francesco De Gregori and Giorgio Lo Cascio. In duo with the former he released in 1972 his first LP, Theorius Campus. The LP scored little success, but Venditti at least made himself being noted for the strength of his vocal qualities and for his attention for social issues, evidenced by pieces like “Sora Rosa” which is sung in Roman dialect. Also in dialect was “Roma Capoccia”, a declaration of love for his city, that later became one of his most famous songs. Curiously, Venditti refused to sing it for several years, as he considered it not politically or socially “engaged” enough.
Venditti subsequently moved to Milan and released L’orso bruno (1973), made in collaboration with musician Vince Tempera: this album included another song in dialect, “E Li Ponti So’ Soli”, but for the rest was marked by an even stronger attention to social themes. His next work, Le cose della vita (“Things of Our Life”), released the same year for the colossus RCA Music, confirmed this tendency.
