I Santo California

Originally called La Nuova Frontiera, the band initially performed in clubs and beach resorts in the Amalfi Coast.

In 1974, during a concert in Nocera Inferiore, they caught the attention of Elio Palumbo who helped them sign a contract with the Italian label Yep Record in Rome.

A sentimental love ballad, "Tornerò" was a major hit in Italy and Switzerland where it spent multiple weeks at no.

[4] In 1977, I Santo California took part to the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Monica", finishing third.

The band continued to record and perform but struggled to maintain the same degree of commercial success.
