Hi Ryan. Thank you so much for your time. You are one of the owners of one of the most recognizable song on this planet „Dolce Vita“! I guess you must be very proud on the song?
I am very proud about this song because first it is a beautiful song, second because many fans wrote to me and tell me nice souvenirs connected with Dolce Vita. For example, beautiful holidays, firs meet girlfriend or boyfriend, marriages etc. Third because it alowed me to go on with my music (I am preparing my LP).

“We're walking like in a Dolce Vita, This time we got it right, We're living like in a Dolce Vita, Mmm, gonna dream tonight, We're dancing like in a Dolce Vita…” are legendary words! Pierluigi Giombini and Gazebo wrote that song. You sang it! Tell me about the song and about those two guys?
Well, I was preparing songs in Italian to participate to the first Rock Italian Festival in 1982 and my keyboard player had to go for one year army service. So I was looking for a new keyboard player and I met Pierluigi Giombini, composer, player and artisitic producer of Dolce Vita. The funny thing was that I brought to him to listen songs from me, but singing in Italian by me and he said: "I am doing only english" and he let me heard "Masterpiece" and also "You Are A Danger", number two and five in the Italian chart at that moment. I remained folgorated by the sounds and the melodies of Giombini and I said to him: "I will bring you one of my english songs". That tonight I composed a new song and three days later I presented it to Giombibi who loved the song. We worked on my song two times and one day Giombini told me: "I wrote a song for you but it is not a rock song". When I heard the song I really made a big jump because it was very nice. I met Gazebo once at Giombibi because he brought the lyrics and I changed with him some phrases because I didn't like.

Gazebo, I dare to say, is the owner of one of the most special song of all time on the whole planet, I am talking about „I like Chopin“ of course. „Dolce Vita“ who's also his work, stands arm to arm to that song. Do you agree with me?
I heard the song "I Like Chopin" one year before it was produced by Giombini. Thy lyrics were not done already but the title was already there. Giombini produced, played and composed all the music of this beautiful song and Gazebo wrote nice lyrics but I have impression that Giombini had the idea of the tile of the song. Tha'st way this two songs stands arm to arm because came out from the mind of the best composer and producer of the 80's - Pierluigi Giombini!

And in your opinion what is so special in both songs that everlasting fire still burning inside?
There is a big love for the music in both songs and love for life!

Did you expect such a huge popularity with the song and can you tell me your thoughts about great success you made?
It was my first record, I didn't have any experience but I was sure from the beginning that Dolce Vita was incredible nice!!

Did your life changed a lot after that song?
I had a little studio where I mad reharsals with my band "The Gigolos" and from one day to another I have been asked to perform in "Top of the pops" and all major TV stations in Europe. The schedule of my time changed very much and I could by more things and nice clothes and I had possibility to meet many people and many singers lie Bee Gees and many others with a big pleasure because I am a singer (now also a producer and composer) but I am a big fan of the music.

How come you started to act in movies? I am very curious to find out how you menaged to enter the world of films? One of your films is „Once Upon A Time“ with Robert De Niro. Can you tell me about that film and about your role?
My mother brought my when I was very young to meet a film director and I started like that with very little role "In Italy we say: Comparse". For "Once Upon A Time In America" I knew the girl of the casting and I did the role of gangster but due to the length of the film they cutted most of my acting, it remained the scenes in the bar for the end of the prohibitionism.

In 1984, you released song „Fall In Love“. Song didn't menaged to attract many guys as „Dolce Vita“. What do you think why is that so?
I didn't have any managment and I was very young and still unexperienced. Fall In Love has a nice melody but not strong as Dolce Vita.

What is really cool, „Fall In Love“ record pressed in shape of red heart, for Carrere UK label. Did you wanted that record in that shape or...? Or you didn't know about it?
I didn't know and I would like to have a photo of the cover for my collection if you can.
