Alunni del Sole

Musical Group

Italian band formed by brothers Paolo and Bruno Morelli. Paolo (voice, piano) was the group's main composer and lyricist; the group debuted in 1969 and is known for melodic, nostalgia-tinged songs such as "Concerto" and "...E mi manchi tanto". Paolo Morelli died on October 10, 2013.

The group took its name from a story by Giuseppe Marotta. Their music blends Italian pop with elements of Neapolitan tradition and touches of psychedelia and nascent progressive pop. Paolo and Bruno Morelli moved to Rome and joined an established band before forming Alunni del Sole. Paolo Morelli had a friendship and artistic exchange with Fabrizio De André (as noted in reviews).

DeBaser hosts a small set of reviews that emphasize Alunni del Sole's melancholic, memory-steeped songwriting. Paolo Morelli (voice, piano) is repeatedly identified as the group's central creative voice. Reviews highlight key songs and albums such as "Concerto", "...E mi manchi tanto" and "Jenny e la bambola". The band's sound blends Italian pop, Neapolitan influences and touches of progressive pop.

For:Fans of 1970s Italian melodic pop, lovers of nostalgic songwriting and collectors of vintage Italian vinyl.

 It is often thought that the musician, in telling a story within their song, is an adult, with their tales from the past narrated as if they belonged to distant and bygone times.

 Paolo Morelli was not just a singer, he was a songwriter, he was the author of the music and lyrics; in short, he was Alunni Del Sole.

 Gli Alunni Del Sole in the melodic scene of the 70s were a group of remarkable depth, no other band has ever given me chills like this.
