Maurizio Arcieri - essential biography*
From the New Dada to the satellite, from the beat moods to the
electronic experimentalism: the life and career of Maurizio Arcieri
and Christina Moser
1967:
some members of The New Dada follow Maurizio as supporting group.
"Ballerina" and "Il comizio" are
released. In the spring of the same year the remaining members of
The New Dada support the
Rolling Stones in their Roman concert.
1968/1970:
Maurizio participates at the "Disco per l'Estate"
Festival with "Cinque Minuti e poi..."; the song is
one of the greatest hits of the year and the leit-motiv of
"Quelli belli siamo noi"
("We Are the Beautiful Ones"), a successful "musicarello" (musical
comedy movie) in which Maurizio acts and sings some of his hits. The
movie features - among others - Carlo Dapporto,
Carlo delle Piane, Isabella Biagini,
Ric e Gian and a young Loredana Bertè.
The album
"Maurizio"
- 1970 is released.
1971/1975:
the albums
"Maurizio"
- 1975 (a collection of Maurizio's cool seventies singles), and
"Trasparenze"
(a progressive experiment) are released.
Maurizio is then chosen as the Italian narrator for the
pan-european album "Peter and the Wolf", a Polydor project that
involves Brian Eno,
Phil Collins, Alvin Lee, Manfred Mann
and many others.
Maurizio marries Christina, who has followed him for years
as a faithful fan, and forms the duo
Chrisma.
