Radio Flora TM More music, more variety
Toto Cutugno, one of the greatest interpreters of Italian music, died on August 22nd, around 4 p.m. at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.
The death of the singer-songwriter, who had just turned 80 in July, was reported to ANSA by his manager Danilo Mancuso, who explained how “after a long illness, the singer’s conditions had worsened in recent months.”
Toto Cutugno participated in the Sanremo Music Festival fifteen times, but he only won once, in 1980, with the song “Solo noi”. He also came second six times, with songs such as “Serenata”, “Figli”, “Emozioni” and “Le mamme”. He is often nicknamed the “eternal second” of Sanremo, a living embodiment of the adage, “always a bridesmaid, never a bride,” but he always took the teasing with irony and grace.
He was also one of the most successful Italian songwriters of all time, having written for artists such as Dalida, Adriano Celentano and Domenico Modugno. Cutugno was considered a veritable ambassador of Italian music in the world, especially in countries such as Romania, Spain, Turkey, Germany and Russia. His song “L’Italiano”, released in 1983, has been translated into many languages and is considered a symbol of Italian culture and identity.
He was born Salvatore Cutugno on July 7, 1943 in Fosdinovo, Tuscany, Italy. Died August 22nd, in Milan, Italy.
