Paolo Benvegnù

Born in Milan, Benvegnù made his professional debut in 1993 with the alternative rock band Scisma [it], with whom he released three albums between 1995 and 1999.

[2] During his career Benvegnù got eight nominations at Targa Tenco, winning the prize for best album in 2024 for È inutile parlare d'amore.

[3] His style has been described as feverish, disorienting, capable of sublime lightness and dizzying dives, pointing straight at the darkest side of himself, laying bare the restlessness, contradictions and ultimate essence of our contemporary.

[2] He has also been active as an actor, a producer, and a composer for other artists, notably Mina, Marina Rei and Irene Grandi.

[4] He made his last appearance on 30 December 2024, in Via Dei Matti n°0, a Rai 3 show hosted by Stefano Bollani and Valentina Cenni.
