Enrico Ruggeri

Musician

Italian singer-songwriter, leader of the punk/new-wave band Decibel before a long solo career; noted for songwriting, lyrical depth and stylistic shifts across punk, new-wave and chanson-influenced rock. Winner at the Sanremo Festival with "Mistero" (1993) and author of songs performed by other major Italian artists.

Founder of Decibel; long collaboration with guitarist Luigi Schiavone; involved in benefit/activist projects (mentioned association Nessuno tocchi Caino in reviews); has served in television roles (reviews mention X-Factor and presenting).

DeBaser's reviews present Enrico Ruggeri as an influential, genre-fluid Italian singer-songwriter: punk origins with Decibel, a strong new-wave phase, and celebrated solo works. Critics praise songwriting and lyrical depth while noting uneven commercial choices and stylistic shifts. Key albums frequently cited: Peter Pan, Polvere, La giostra della memoria.

For:Fans of Italian rock and singer-songwriter music; readers interested in punk/new-wave transitions and lyrical songwriting.

 I consider the artist in question to be the greatest Italian singer, obviously after the sacred trinity of De Andrè-Battisti-Battiato.

 The final feeling is that Ruggeri wants to pay tribute to himself, almost a tribute: I'd like to remind that of many songs he is only the lyricist, do we know what the composer thinks?
