Marco Masini

Marco Masini (born 1964 in Florence) is an Italian singer-songwriter known for his direct, melancholic songs and a strong presence in Italian pop from the early 1990s onward.

Public facts include: debut and breakout in the early 1990s (notably the song "Disperato"), commercial success in the 1990s, a 1998 rock-influenced album Scimmie that underperformed commercially, and a Sanremo win/major success resurgence with "L'uomo volante" (2004).

DeBaser reviews paint Marco Masini as a resilient Italian singer-songwriter whose work mixes melancholic, confessional lyrics with occasional rock experiments. Critics note early commercial success, controversial reception, a risky 1998 rock turn (Scimmie) and a later Sanremo revival with "L'uomo volante". Reviews praise lyrical directness and voice, while noting uneven production and hits-driven perception.

For:Fans of Italian singer-songwriters, listeners of 1990s-2000s Italian pop/rock, people who like candid, melancholic lyrics.
