The Profile

Litfiba is an Italian rock band formed in Florence around 1980. They were central to the Italian new wave/post-punk scene of the 1980s and are widely associated with the early trilogy of albums Desaparecido, 17 Re and Litfiba 3. The core public figures in reviews include Piero Pelù and Ghigo Renzulli.

Formed in Florence in 1980; early lineup featured Piero Pelù, Ghigo Renzulli, Gianni Maroccolo, Antonio Aiazzi and Ringo De Palma. Celebrated early albums (Desaparecido, 17 Re, Litfiba 3) are repeatedly praised; later shifts toward harder rock and more commercial sounds had mixed reception. The band has reunited for tours and live releases (e.g., Trilogia Tour/Trilogia 1983-1989 Live 2013) and has had reissues such as the Luna/La Preda Record Store Day release.

Reviews strongly praise Litfiba's early 1980s work—especially Desaparecido, 17 Re and Litfiba 3—as landmarks of Italian new wave/post-punk. Later albums and stylistic shifts toward harder rock or pop receive mixed reactions. Live reunion tours and reissues (Trilogia/Record Store Day reissues) are recurring themes.

Notable Quotes

❝ Because I felt they were mine!
❝ "Luna" would become a key piece in the concert setlist for years
❝ Desaparecido is an album that speaks in very current terms (of war, hatred, and injustices perpetrated for reasons of state), yet it does so in such a poetic and almost theatrical manner, which makes it a true masterpiece.
