Federico Fiumani

The Profile

Italian singer-songwriter and founder/frontman of Diaframma, active since 1979, known for post-punk/new wave work and intimate solo records such as Confidenziale and Donne mie.

Leader of the Florence-based band Diaframma; prominent figure in the Italian post-punk scene; noted for a raw, sandpaper voice and solo albums including Confidenziale and Donne mie.

DeBaser reviews present a divided view: praise for Fiumani's raw voice, auteur sensibility and the intimate live feel of Confidenziale; criticism for the perceived lack of ideas and weaker moments on the solo debut Donne mie. Overall a portrait of an important figure of the Italian post-punk scene interpreted through affectionate and sharp criticism.
