About the Artist
Born and raised in Bologna, I grew up loving The Clash, Jimi Hendrix, Jefff Beck, The Beatles. I ended up pretty soon (I was only 21!!) playing with a major Italian band named Litfiba and then joined Luciano Ligabue’s new group in 1994. We called ourselves LA BANDA back then and I’ve been playing as lead guitarist with Ligabue since then. I also found the time to work on my own “one-man” career: 3 albums published so far (all sold-out successes) and so much hunger for music and rock still left! Ah, I’m Federico by the way... Even if my fans like to call me “Captain Fede”.. Pleased to meet you guys!Achievements
