Biography

Italian composer, arranger, and singer in the Italian vocal group, the Quartetto Cetra.

On 19 August 1944 Virgilio Savona married the singer Lucia Mannucci, who later joined Quartetto Cetra to replace Enrico De Angelis, who left the group in 1947.

Besides singing, Savona composed and arranged for the group. He wrote the music while Tata Giacobetti, also a member of the quartet, wrote the lyrics. They collaborated for four decades and produced hundreds of songs which made up Quartetto Cetra's vast repertoire.

Savona composed music and wrote scripts for radio and TV programs, stage shows and films. During the 1970s, he was active as pianist, orchestra conductor, arranger and producer. He extensively researched on folk songs. In 1971, he wrote "Angela," a song for Angela Davis, Afro-American communist leader, innocent in prison at this time.

He died in Milan on 27 August 2009 from complications of Parkinson's disease.
