Giancarlo Golzi (February 10, 1952 – August 12, 2015), was an Italian drummer and songwriter, a founding member of the Genoan band Matia Bazar.
Golzi began his career in music as a drummer and percussionist for the Genoan band La Quinta Strada, which covered songs by artists like Jimi Hendrix and rock groups such as The Kinks, The Animals and Steppenwolf and by Rhythm & Blues stars like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett.
In 1971, La Quinta Strada merged with Il Sistema into the progressive rock band Museo Rosenbach, whose first album Zarathustra (1973), while well received by fans, sold poorly because of controversy surrounding its alleged pro-Fascist lyrics.
Alongside his work with Matia Bazar, in 1999 Golzi resumed his collaboration with newly-reformed Museo Rosenbach, releasing two more albums, Exit (2000)[2] and Barbarica (2013).
On August 8, 2015, while on a tour with Matia Bazar to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary, Golzi performed for the last time at the Outlet Village Cilento in Eboli.
