Franco Califano (14 September 1938 – 30 March 2013) was an Italian lyricist, composer, singer-songwriter, author and actor.[1] During his career he sold about 20 million records.

Life and career

Born in an airplane above Tripoli, Libya, Califano lived most of his life in Rome (in whose dialect he usually sang) and Milan.[2] In the 1960s he began his career in music as a lyricist and a record producer;[3] among his first successes as author "Шаблон:Lang", "Шаблон:Lang", "Шаблон:Lang".[2]

He was arrested in 1970 and again 1984 for possession of drugs; in both cases, Califano was acquitted with the formula "because the fact does not exist".[4] In 1976 Califano got his first and main success as a singer with the song "Шаблон:Lang", included in his eponymous fourth album, for which the critics paired him to the traditional French Шаблон:Lang.[2] During these years he continued his activity as lyricist signing, among others, the Sanremo Music Festival 1973 winner "Шаблон:Lang" (performed by Peppino di Capri) and the Mia Martini's classic "Шаблон:Lang"; he also composed a whole album for Mina, Шаблон:Lang.[5] In 1978 he released his best-sold album, Шаблон:Lang.[5][6]

In 1988 he entered the Sanremo Music Festival with the autobiographical song "Шаблон:Lang"; he came back to Sanremo two more times, in 1994 with "Шаблон:Lang" and in 2005 with "Шаблон:Lang".[5]

He was author of several books, including the autobiographical Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang.[1] He also starred in several genre films, and had the leading roles in the Шаблон:Lang Шаблон:Lang and in the comedy film Шаблон:Lang.[7] He died of a heart attack[8] in his house in Acilia.[9]
