Real name: Gian Franco Fanigliulo

Effective period / Period of releases: 1977 - 1989

Franco Fanigliulo (La Spezia, 9th February 1944 – 12th January 1989) was an italian singer and songwriter. He was largely inspired, in his early career, by the great school of french chansonniers. He was able to offer a very theatrical interpretation of his songs.
His first big hit was in 1979 with the song A Me Mi Piace Vivere Alla Grande (which means "I Like Living With Great Style"). but in reality he lived with simplicity and for many years led a rural life.
