The Profile

Giuseppe Povia is an Italian singer-songwriter from Milan. He broke through with the hit “I bambini fanno ooh” and won the Sanremo Music Festival in 2006 with “Vorrei avere il becco.” In later years he turned to self-produced, socio-political concept albums such as “Nuovo Contrordine Mondiale” and “Imperfetto.”

Born 19 November 1972 in Milan, Italy. Winner of Sanremo 2006 with “Vorrei avere il becco”; competed at Sanremo 2009 with “Luca era gay.”

Reviews trace Povia from early pop hits to polemical, self-produced concept albums. “Nuovo Contrordine Mondiale” is praised for scope and coherence; “Imperfetto” is seen as a leaner, less strong follow-up. “Centravanti di mestiere” gets slammed, while the EP “Scacco matto” earns kudos for its title track and the sensitive “La verità.” The ever-present flashpoint remains his Sanremo-era singles and blunt socio-political takes.
