Giuliano Illiani, known professionally as Donatello, is an Italian singer born on September 11, 1947, in Tortone. He began his musical career as a member of the group Wanted's between 1962 and 1966. In 1968, he performed as a guitarist for Gianni Morandi. Illiani adopted the stage name Donatello in 1970 and performed the song âIo mi fermo quiâ at the Festival della Canzone Italiana di Sanremo with the ensemble Dik Dik. That same year, the recording âMalattia dâamoreâ reached number 10 on the Italian chart. He released his namesake debut studio album, Donatello, in 1970. Between 1971 and 1973, he reached the final of the Sanremo festival three times with the songs âCom'è dolce la seraâ and âTi voglioâ.
