Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Salvatore Cutugno was born on July 7, 1943, in the Tuscan town of Fosdinovo.

His family moved to La Spezia when he was a few months old, where his father worked as a military sailor. From a young age, Cutugno showed a talent for music, taking up the trumpet like his father and later mastering the drums and accordion.

At the age of 13, he won third place in a regional music competition.

Until the age of 19, Cutugno played drums in local music groups before embarking on a six-month tour of Finland with Maestro Manusardi's ensemble.

Upon his return to Italy, Salvatore formed his own band, "Toto e Tati," with whom he toured extensively
