Biography

Paolo Pietrangeli, born 29 April 1945 in Rome, was an Italian militant, singer-songwriter, actor, director, screenwriter, television presenter and author. He entered the music scene in the late 1960s, releasing his first album Mio Caro Padrone Domani Ti Sparo in 1969 and gaining attention with the politically charged track "Contessa", later adopted as an anthem of the 1968 Italian protests. Over the next decade he issued a string of albums—including Karlmarxstrasse (1974), I Cavalli Di Troia (1975), Lo sconfronto (1976) and Cascami (1979)—and a 1981 single "Sul tram" that highlighted his activist stance. In the 1990s he continued with Canti, contesse & conti (1994) and Un animale per compagno (1996). He died 22 November 2021, leaving a legacy intertwined with Italy’s cultural and political history.
