Effective period / Period of releases: 1965 - 1966

Members: Aldo Caponi, Carlo Alberto Paterlini

The first italian beat group, founded in 1960 Mantova (Lombardia).
This band was founded especially to accompany Don Backy in his concerts.
Their first name was I Delfini (the dolphins) then they choose I Fuggiaschi (the escaping men) from the lyrics of a Don Backy's song.
In 1962 they released the single “Droga” that deserves a special note for the original sound that contains.
Unfortunately their single pass virtually unnoticed and little appetite for their first release also puts into crisis the relationship with Don Backy.

First line-up:
Aldo Pavesi - Bass Guitar
Mario Pavesi - Guitar
Rinaldo Schilingi - Drums
Claudio Paterlini - Keyboards

In 1965 a sudden change of formation due to the tragic death of Aldo Pavesi in a car accident, Carlo Alberto "Charlie" Paterlini (brother of Claudio) took the second guitar and Maurizio Bellini the electric bass.
In 1966 I Fuggiaschi were separated by Aldo Caponi (Don Backy) which founded a new band, La Banda.
