Riccardo Fogli

The Eurovision audience first met Riccardo Fogli in 1983 when he brought Italy back to the contest after a couple of years absence with the song "Per Lucia". But his biggest break actually came the year before, when he won the San Remo festival with "Storie di tutti i giorni", which became a huge hit not only in Italy, but all over the world, and took him to gigs in places like the USSR, where the record sold a million copies.What happened in Munich, is he willing to tell us about it, what has happened since then and why did he leave Italy's most successful band Pooh back in 1974?We also get to listen to his latest single and to several artists who have covered or outright plagiarised his songs.Big thanks to Yanna Yancheva at J & K Productions and Azzurra Music.
