Massimo Zamboni

The Profile

Italian guitarist, songwriter and writer, co‑founder of CCCP Fedeli alla Linea and CSI. Active since the early 1980s, he pursued a solo career (Sorella sconfitta; L’inerme è l’imbattibile), collaborated with Angela Baraldi, and composed soundtracks.

Co-founded CCCP and CSI; solo debut Sorella sconfitta features Nada, Lalli, and Marina Parente; performed live at Radio Popolare (Demetrio Stratos Auditorium); collaborated extensively with Angela Baraldi including Un'infinita compressione precede lo scoppio and a CCCP/CSI repertoire tour; themes across works include Berlin, Mongolia, and the Balkans; involved in special shows with ex-CSI members in 2012–2013.

Reviews trace Zamboni’s path from intimate readings (Berlin, memory, Mongolia) to live sets around L’inerme è l’imbattibile and the CSI songbook. Sorella Sconfitta wins praise for its dark grace and guest voices (Nada, Lalli, Marina Parente). The Angela Baraldi duo revisits CCCP/CSI with fresh energy and new material. There’s chatter about reconnections with former CSI members and ongoing soundtrack work.
