I Giganti

I Giganti are a storied band hailing from Italy, recognized for their significant contributions to the vibrant Italian rock and pop scene of the 1960s and early 1970s. Emerging in the Beat era, they swiftly found a niche with their distinctive sound that intertwines melodic Italian pop with the more rebellious tones of rock. The core of I Giganti's lineup consisted of Enrico Maria Papes, Francesco Marsella, Sergio Di Martino, and Giacomo Di Martino, whose synergy produced a unique sonic flair that resonated with the youth of the era.

Their historical impact is perhaps best encapsulated by the album "Terra in bocca - Poesia di un delitto," released in 1971, which is considered one of the first Italian rock opera concepts. With its bold narrative addressing Mafia themes, it was an ambitious project that has since carved out a revered spot in the annals of Italian progressive rock. After their initial period of activity, I Giganti saw a decline in the limelight but maintained a cult following, as evidenced by the retrospective collections like "Italian Classics: I Giganti Collection, Vol. 1 & 2" and "Il Meglio". These collections, alongside the release of "Rarities," showcase the depth and versatility of I Giganti's music, revealing why they continue to be rediscovered and celebrated by new generations of music lovers and collectors.
