Born on March 4th, 1943, in Bologna, Italy, Dalla embarked on a career in music that spanned over five decades, during which he became an iconic figure in the Italian music scene. His songwriting was characterized by poetic lyrics, often infused with social commentary and personal introspection.

Among his most famous works is the poignant "Caruso," a song paying homage to the legendary opera singer Enrico Caruso, which has been covered by various artists around the world. Some of his albums, such as "Come è profondo il mare" and "Dallamericaruso," stand as testaments to his storytelling prowess and innovative approach to music.
