Stage name Drupi; real name Giampiero Anelli; originally from the area of Pavia (as noted in reviews). Known for 1970s hits "Sereno è" and "Piccola e fragile". Reviews note a warm, blues/soul-tinged voice and a lasting following in parts of Eastern Europe. Participated at the Sanremo Festival with a noted result in 1982 (third place) according to the provided review.

Two DeBaser reviews underline Drupi's warm, slightly hoarse voice and his 1970s hits, especially "Sereno è" and "Piccola e fragile". Reviewers note a blues/soul influence and a particular following in Eastern Europe. Overall reception in these reviews is mixed but appreciative.

For:Fans of classic Italian pop, blues-influenced vocalists, 1970s music and listeners who enjoy nostalgic, voice-forward songs.

 The voice is warm, mellow. And then hoarse, rough, earthy. It speaks of the people, of bars.

 Drupi—real name Giampiero Anelli, originally from the area of Pavia, with a warm voice suitable for blues and soul—I see a bit as Zucchero's forerunner.
