Life and career

Born in Melegnano, a self-taught musician, Camisasca debuted in 1974 with the progressive rock album La finestra dentro, produced by Pino Massara and Franco Battiato, which received large critical acclaim.[1] In the following years he collaborated as a vocalist and as a songwriter with Battiato and with other singers, and he took part to the musical project Telaio Magnetico.[1]

In 1979 Camisasca decided to enter a Benedictine monastery, still keeping to be active as a songwriter for artists such as Milva, Alice and Giuni Russo.[1][2] In 1987 he left the monastic life to embrace an eremitical life at the slopes of Mount Etna.[1] After participating to the Battiato's opera Genesi as a singer and as the narrating voice, he reprised his record activity in 1988 with the album Te Deum.[1]

Camisasca is also active as an icon painter, an activity he gradually focused in later years.[1]

gollark: If you generate random numbers sampled out of the range from 1 to infinity then... 100% minus some infinitesimally small amount are too big to fit in the universe?
gollark: It's not a "99.99999999% chance". We're dealing with infinities here.
gollark: Okay, no, I can think of how you would do that, although not a uniform distribution across the entire range.
gollark: I'm not sure how you would even do that without taking infinite or at least arbitrarily large amounts of time.
gollark: So... *don't* generate random numbers between 0 and infinity?
