0:50

Pallou was born in Florence on February

0:52

10 , 1962 . He

0:55

grew up listening to rock music , especially

0:58

the Beatles , the Rolling Stones and

1:00

the Black Sabbath . He started

1:03

playing guitar when he was eight years old

1:05

and he formed his first band , the

1:07

Mugnians , when he was in high school

1:09

. He was inspired by

1:11

the punk scene in London and he adopted

1:13

the nickname Pirotten , a tribute

1:16

to Johnny Rotten , the singer of the Sex

1:18

Pistols . He also

1:20

studied theatre and mine , and he developed

1:22

a strong stage presence and a theatrical

1:25

style . In

1:28

1980 , he met Federico

1:30

Ranzulli , a guitarist and songwriter

1:33

, and they founded Lit Fiber , a band

1:35

that would revolutionise the Italian rock

1:37

scene . Lit Fiber combined

1:39

new wave post-punk and alternative

1:42

rock with Mediterranean influences

1:44

, creating a unique and original

1:46

sound . They also wrote

1:48

lyrics that dealt with social and political

1:51

issues such as power , war

1:53

, freedom and rebellion . They

1:56

soon gained a loyal fan base and a reputation

1:59

for their energetic and explosive live

2:01

shows . Lit

2:04

Fiber released their first album , de

2:07

Seperecedo , in 1985

2:09

, and they started a series of concept

2:11

albums based on different themes . The

2:15

first one was the trilogy of power , composed

2:17

by Seventeen Rhee , transe and

2:20

LDOO , which explored the relationship

2:22

between man and power in different historical

2:25

and geographical contexts . The

2:27

second one was the titralogy of elements

2:30

, composed by Sogno , ribbel , terremoto

2:33

, Spirito and Mundi Sammerci

2:35

, which represented the four elements

2:37

of nature and their symbolic meanings

2:39

. These albums were very

2:41

successful and made Lit Fiber one

2:43

of the most popular and acclaimed bands

2:45

in Italy . However

2:50

, in 1999 , after

2:52

20 years of collaboration , pierrot

2:54

Pellu and Federico Ranzulli decided

2:56

to part ways due to artistic

2:58

and personal differences . Pierrot

3:01

Pellu started his solo career , releasing

3:04

his first album , Enny Bunny , enny

3:06

Cativi . In the same year , he

3:09

continued to experiment with different

3:11

musical genres , such as rock

3:13

, pop , reggae and rap , and

3:15

he collaborated with many artists such

3:18

as Ligabue , giovanni Albarzi

3:20

and Sub-Sanica . He

3:23

also maintained his political engagement

3:25

, supporting various courses such

3:27

as human rights , environmentalism

3:30

, pacifism and antifascism

3:32

. He participated in

3:34

several concerts and campaigns , such

3:36

3:38

8 , and Clean Beach Tour . In

3:43

2009 , pierrot Pellu

3:45

and Federico Ranzulli reunited

3:47

for a series of concerts to celebrate

3:50

the 30th anniversary of Lit Fiber

3:52

. The reunion was a

3:54

huge success and the band decided

3:56

to record a new album , stato

3:58

Libero di Lit Fiber , in 2010

4:02

. They followed with another album , grande

4:04

Nation , in 2012 . And

4:06

a live album , trilogia 1983

4:08

to 1989 Live 2013,

4:11

. In 2013 . They

4:13

also toured extensively , playing

4:15

in front of thousands of fans all over

4:18

Italy and abroad . In

4:22

2020 , pierrot Pellou made

4:24

his debut at the San Remo Music Festival

4:26

, the most prestigious and popular

4:29

music contest in Italy . He

4:31

competed with the song Giganti , a

4:33

rock anthem that celebrated his long

4:36

and brilliant career . He

4:38

also released his tenth solo album

4:40

, pugilai Fraggilai , which featured

4:42

collaborations with other artists such

4:45

as Giannan Anini , levante and

4:47

Willy Peiotti . He also

4:49

published his autobiography El

4:51

Ultimo Giron , in which he recanted

4:54

his life story and his artistic journey

4:56

. Pierrot

4:59

Pellou is a legend of Italian rock

5:01

music and a source of inspiration

5:03

for many musicians and fans . He

5:06

is a versatile and creative artist

5:08

who always reinvented himself

5:10

and his music without losing his

5:13

identity and his values . He

5:15

is a rebel and a fighter who never gave

5:18

up on his dreams and his ideals . He

5:21

is a giant , as he sings in his latest

5:23

song , and he deserves our respect

5:25

and admiration . And

5:29

now it's time to listen to some of

5:31

his music . I've selected

5:33

two songs that represent his career

5:36

and his style . The first

5:38

one is LDOLO , from the album

5:40

of the same name , released in 1989

5:43

. It's one of the most famous

5:45

and successful songs by Lit Fiber , and

5:48

it's a powerful and catchy rock song that

5:50

talks about the devil as a metaphor

5:52

for the dark side of human nature . The

5:55

second one is Musica Libira

5:57

from his solo album Pugeli Frageli

5:59

, released in 2020 . It's

6:02

a reggae rock song that features alborosy

6:04

, a Jamaican-Italian singer and producer

6:07

, and it's a hymn to music as a form

6:09

of freedom and expression . I

6:12

hope you enjoy these songs and I'll

6:14

be back after the break . Stay tuned

6:16

11:25

11:33

The sky above us . Look at

11:35

the mirror and see another face . My
