Adriano Celentano

Musician

Adriano Celentano (born January 6, 1938 in Milan) is an Italian singer, songwriter, actor and filmmaker, known for his distinctive voice, energetic performances and often-provocative projects. He rose to fame in the late 1950s/1960s and has been a prominent figure in Italian popular music and cinema.

Italian singer-songwriter and actor; influential in bringing rock/pop to Italian audiences; author of the invented-language hit 'Prisencolinensinainciusol' and the classic 'Azzurro'; creator of polarising film/TV projects (e.g. Yuppi Du, Joan Lui, Adrian). Nicknamed 'Il molleggiato'.

DeBaser reviews present Adriano Celentano as a polarising cultural figure: beloved for 1960s–70s classics and experimental cinema, criticized for later grandstanding and uneven projects. Reviewers celebrate hits like "Azzurro" and "Prisencolinensinainciusol" while debating ambitious works such as "Adrian" and "Joan Lui." Opinions range from affectionate fandom to sharp dismissal.

For:Fans of Italian pop/rock, readers of cult cinema and polarising artists, DeBaser visitors.

 "the great and irreproachable Adriano Celentano. I didn't know he also made cartoons.."

 Yuppi Du is pure cinematic anarchy. A free product, outside any kind of scheme, which will no longer be able to exist in the world of cinema.
