Toto Cutugno children-Former Italian musician and songwriter, Salvatore “Toto” Cutugno was born on July 7, 1943.
Cutugno was born in Tendola, a neighborhood of Fosdinovo, Lunigiana, Tusc any, to a mother who was a housewife and a Sicilian sea marshal from Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto. His family soon relocated to La Spezia, Liguria, after his birth.
He gained worldwide fame for the song “L’Italiano,” which was featured on his eponymous album published in 1983.
With the song “Insieme: 1992,” for which he also composed the lyrics and music, Cutugno also triumphed at the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest in Zagreb, Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia.
Toto Cutugno career
Cutugno started out as a drummer before forming Toto e i Tati at the age of 19. Later, he joined forces with Lino Losito and Mario Limongelli to establish the disco group Albatros.
He also began a career as a songwriter, contributing to some of the most well-known songs by French-American vocalist Joe Dassin, including “Le Jardin du Luxembourg” (co-written with Vito Pallavicini), “Et si tu n’existais pas,” and “L’été indien.”
He co-wrote songs for Johnny Hallyday, Mireille Mathieu, Ornella Vanoni, Domenico Modugno, Claude François, Gigliola Cinquetti, Gérard Lenorman, Michel Sardou, Hervé Vilard, and Paul Mauriat, as well as Dalida’s “Monday Tuesday… Laissez moi danser” (“Voglio l’anima” in its Italian translation).
With the song “Volo AZ 504”, Albatros placed third at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1976, their first year of participation.
Cutugno won the competition with the song “Solo noi” (English: “Only us”) when he returned to the Sanremo Music Festival in 1980. However, “L’Italiano” (“The Italian”), a song he performed in 1983, is what most people associate Cutugno with the event.
Cutugno would place second in six additional Sanremo festival competitions: in 1984 with the song “Serenata” (“Serenade”); in 1987 with the song “Figli” (“Sons” or “Children”); in 1988 with the song “Emozioni” (“Emotions”); in 1989 with the song “Le mamme” (“Mothers”); in 1990 with the song “Gli amori” (“Loves,” but 13 times in total, Toto Cutugno attended the festival.
As a songwriter, during the 1980s Cutugno composed hit songs for numerous artists, notably Miguel Bosé (the Festivalbar-winning song “Super Superman”), Adriano Celentano (“Il tempo se ne va”), Luis Miguel (“Ragazzi di oggi”), Fausto Leali (“Io amo”), Peppino di Capri (“Il sognatore”), Ricchi e Poveri (“Canzone d’amore”), Fiordaliso (“Per noi” and “Se non avessi te”).
With his original song “Insieme: 1992” (“Together: 1992”), a ballad that praised the European political union and the founding of the European Union, Cutugno won the Eurovision Song Contest in Zagreb in 1990.
Cutugno frequently performed in New York City and Atlantic City while on tour outside of Italy. He was particularly well-liked in Germany, Russia, Spain, Romania, and Turkey.
In 2014, Cutugno was the focus of the Facebook page La stessa foto di Toto Cutugno ogni giorno (literally, “The same photo of Toto Cutugno every day”), which quickly went viral and received thousands of likes, shares, and comments. The case later became the subject of a study by the Institute for Advanced Study in Pavia.
A group of Ukrainian lawmakers attempted to prevent Cutugno from performing in Kyiv in March 2019 by writing an open letter to Vasyl Hrytsak, the head of the nation’s security services, pleading with him to do so. They described the singer as “a Russian war supporter in Ukraine” and demanded that he prohibit the singer from entering Ukrainian territory.
Did Toto Cutugno have any children?
Toto Cutugno had only one son who was named Nico Cutugno. He had him through an extramarital affair in 1990.
