Biography.
Gazebo was born in Beirut, Lebanon, where his father was working as a diplomat in the Italian embassy. Through his father's work, he later lived in Jordan, Denmark (where he learned good English at an American school) and France. He also worked as a guitarist in London for some time. He finished his university study of French literature with a degree in 1983. He chose his stage name "Gazebo" after the pavillon structure of the same name, because it sounded catchy and this was important for Radio DJs at the time.
In 1983 he released "I Like Chopin". It sold 8 million copies worldwide and reached No. 1 of Italian charts along with 15 other countries, among them Germany, Spain and Austria. His singles "Masterpiece" (1982) and "Lunatic" (1983) also reached Top Ten in several European, Asian and Latin American countries. His work in that period was produced by Pierluigi Giombini with whom he co-wrote the hit "Dolce Vita" for singer Ryan Paris.
Gazebo is still touring and working on new albums. In addition, he is also working as a producer for other artists.
