Stadio
Stadio (literally, Stadium) is an Italian pop rock band formed in 1977. The members are Giovanni Pezzoli (drums), Roberto Drovandi (bass guitar), Andrea Fornili (guitar), and Gaetano Curreri (vocals and keyboard).
The group had a long-standing arrangement as an accompanying band to Lucio Dalla, a Bologna-born singer. Stadio had its first notable public appearance in the mid-1970s, when the group appeared on Lucio Dalla's 1975 collaborative album with Roberto Roversi, Anidride Solforosa (Italian for "sulfur dioxide"). The members of Stadio on this album were Giovanni Pezzoli playing the drums, Marco Nanni playing the bass and Fabio Liberators playing the keyboard. The same musicians were featured on Dalla's 1977 album Com'è profondo il mare (How deep is the sea?).
The next Lucio Dalla single was released in February 1979 and a new Stadio member was introduced: guitarist Ricky Portera. This release, on the eve of the Banana Republic tour, saw Lucio Dalla and Francesco De Gregori (normally accompanied by Cyan)[relevant?] side-by-side. The line-up included the keyboard player and backing vocalist Gaetano Curreri, a future singer of the band. The official founding of the group came in the spring of 1981 during the summer tour by Lucio Dalla, when Stadio offered their first two songs, "Grande figlio di puttana" (major son of a bitch) and the energetic "Chi te l'ha detto" (Who told you that?), respectively on the B and A side of their first single, which came out at the end of that year. The two songs are included in the soundtrack of Carlo Verdone's film Borotalco, along with the song "Un fiore per Hal" (A flower for Hal), also published on the band's first LP, Stadio, which came out in the spring of 1982 for RCA Records, with the participation of Lucio Dalla, Ron and Jimmy Villotti as guests.
"Un fiore per Hal" is a long suite, sung by Ricky Portera with Lucio Dalla. It was repeated in the song "La mattina" (included on Q-disc Chiedi chi erano i Beatles – Ask who were the Beatles ). They often appeared on backing vocals for Stadio, under the pseudonym of Domenico Sputi.
1983 saw the release of the band's career-defining single, "Acqua e sapone" (water and soap), recorded for the eponymous film by Carlo Verdone. That same year, Stadio was accompanied by Ron, who also recorded the live album Tutti i cuori viaggianti (All traveling hearts) which resulted in the recruitment of rhythm guitarist Marco Bonino, and bassist Claudio Golinelli (a regular contributor to Vasco Rossi) in the place of Marco Nanni who played saxophone and percussion.
In 1984, they featured at the Festival di Sanremo with "Allo stadio" (at the stadium) as the final song. The song was included on the album La faccia delle donne (The face of women), which was released soon after the festival.
A few weeks before the festival, during the 1983 album tour, Pezzoli was badly injured in one eye while assembling his drum kit. Massimo Cappa, a young drummer, was asked to replace him. Cappa participated in the Festival and the subsequent television output of the band and toured with Lucio Dalla, who also appeared in the music video "Dentro le scarpe" (Inside the shoes). "Dentro le scarpe" became the theme song of the television program L'Orecchiocchio (The Ear-Eye).
In 1984, they contributed to the soundtrack of the Luciano Salce film Vediamoci chiaro, featuring the song "Ti senti sola" (You feel lonely) and Liberatori's original music. They also performed the song "Porno in TV" written for them by Lucio Dalla.
