Life and career

Born in Trivero, Vergnaghi started his career as lead singer of a number of groups, including Il segno dello zodiaco and Bora Bora. In 1978 he started a solo career under the production of Iva Zanicchi and Maestro Ezio Leoni, debuting with the single "Parigi addio". One year later he was the winner of the 29th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival with "Amare".[2]

In 1980, Vergnaghi temporarily left the music industry and moved to England, returning to Italy in the late 1980s. He then entered the Zucchero Fornaciari's staff, collaborating with him as composer and backing vocalist.[2]
