Gragnaniello, who was born in the Quartieri Spagnoli, has been making music for a very long time. He starting playing guitar when he was 12 and the first band he formed was called Banchi Nuovi, which was named after the Committee of unemployed people to which he belonged.
Gragnaniello is famous in his own right, but some of his best songs are ones that he wrote for others, like Cu’umme, which was recorded by Roberto Murolo and Mia Martini.
The multi-talented Gragnaniello is also a composer of musical scores, plays and films. He has also composed songs for some pretty heavy hitters, including Andrea Bocelli and Adriano Celentano.
