Stadio (literally, Stadium) is an Italian pop rock band formed in 1977. The members are Giovanni Pezzoli (drums), Roberto Drovandi (bass guitar), Andrea Fornili (guitar), and Gaetano Curreri (vocals and keyboard). ====Occhi negli occhi==== After reflecting on their previous album and ballad collection, Stadio refocused and released the 2002¹ album Occhi negli occhi (Eyes in eyes) with the singles "Sorprendimi" (Surprise) and "Il segreto" (The secret). In 2003, during a stop on the tour in Acireale, Curreri suffered a stroke, and was saved by a physician in the audience. The same year, after years of controversy, in a televised broadcast, Stadio performed a duet with Lucio Dalla, "Grande figlio di puttana". In the same period there was also a collaboration between Curreri and Portera (former Stadio guitarist and front-man). These two, along with Pezzoli and Roberto Costa on bass, recorded Portera's second album, Ci sono cose. This collaboration also led to a new arrangement of Stadio's "Canzoni alla radio". ====L'amore volubile and Canzoni per parrucchiere==== With the release in 2005 of their album L'amore volubile (The fickle love), Stadio seemed to change trajectory with writer and producer Figure Saverio Grandi. In 2006, they released Canzoni per parrucchiere Live Tour (Songs for hairdressers Live Tour) as an album and their first concert DVD, recorded during a stop of the theatrical tour. ====Parole nel vento==== In 2007, Gaetano Curreri and Saverio Grandi, together with Marco Falagiani and Giancarlo Bigazzi, wrote "E mi alzo sui pedali" (And I get up on the pedals) for the RAI production Marco Pantani, also filming a video clip. The song is also included on the album Parole nel vento (Words in the wind) released after their participation at Sanremo with the song "Look at me" (thirteenth place). The album was followed by a tour of theaters, sports arenas, and squares. In 2007, they won the award for best Italian group at the Venice Music Awards. On 9 November 2007 the triple-disc Platinum Collection of Stadio's greatest hits was released and a new tour launched on 17 November 2007. ====Diluvio universale and Diamanti e caramelle==== On 20 March 2009, Stadio released the album Diluvio universale with a title song written with Vasco Rossi and Alessandro Magri, and arranged by Alessandro Magri. The album also includes "Resta come sei" (Stay as you are), composed and sung by Fabrizio Moro. On March 23 they began the Diluvio tour in Bologna; in some stages there was the participation of Noemi and Fabrizio Moro. On 6 March 2009, they released the single "Gioia e dolore" (Joy and sorrow). On 26 August 2011, they released "Gaetano e Giacinto", a song dedicated to Gaetano Scirea and Giacinto Facchetti, and single of the album Diamanti e caramelle (Diamonds and candy), which was in stores 27 September 2011. The album includes "La promessa" (The promise) as a duet with Noemi. On 3 February 2012, a third single was released, "Poi ti lascerò dormire" (Then let you sleep), which was used in the soundtrack for Carlo Verdone's Posti in piedi in paradiso (Places standing in heaven). ====30 I nostri anni and Immagini del vostro amore==== On 30 October 2012, Stadio released their third live album, 30 I nostri anni (Our 30 years), to celebrate the group's thirty-year career. The anthology included three unpublished songs: "I nostri anni" (Our years) written by Fabrizio Moro, "Bella" by Luca Carboni, and "Dall'altra parte dell'età" (across age) by Poplars and Fornili. (The first two were singles for the album.) Additional songs are performed with the Sanremo Festival Orchestra, under the direction of Maestro Bruno Santori. On 24 October 2013, Stadio released the single "Immagini del nostro amore" (Pictures of our love) and on 19 November the album Immagini del vostro amore (Pictures of your love). It includes duets with Noemi in "La promessa", with Saverio Grandi in "Cortili lontani" (In courtyards away) and a collaboration with Solis String Quartet in "La mia canzone per te" (In my song for you). ==References== ==External links== Stadio page at Eurochannel
