Luciano Tajoli (17 April 1920, Milan – 3 August 1996, Merate) – Italian singer and actor.

Music festival

Luciano Tajoli participated several times (1961, 1962, 1963, and 1970) in the Sanremo Music Festival, winning in 1961 with the song Al di là.^[1] It is estimated that he sold over 45 million records.

Personal life

Luciano came from a poor family and was a self-taught singer. He trained as an apprentice in tailor, barber and cobbler's shops. Due to the polio disease that struck him in childhood, Luciano always leaned during his performances, e.g., against a chair or piano. His limping was accommodated into the screenplays of his film appearances.
