Cesare Cremonini

The Profile

Cesare Cremonini is an Italian singer-songwriter from Bologna. He rose to fame with the band Lunapop and later continued a solo career, often discussed in terms of pop craftsmanship, piano-led writing, and frequent references to British/Beatles-like atmospheres in arrangements.

Publicly known and widely documented: he is Italian and began his career with Lunapop before pursuing a solo career. The reviews repeatedly describe him as Bolognese and as a singer-songwriter with piano-driven tendencies and pop/rock influences.

Across 13 reviews, Cremonini is portrayed as a pop artist who often surprises skeptics with craft, arrangements and occasional ambition. “Maggese” is repeatedly framed as a Beatles-tinged turning point, while other albums split writers between “refined pop” and “adequate but uninspired”. Recurring themes: piano-driven writing, strong singles, and a constant tug-of-war between teen-idol perception and songwriter credibility.
