Little Tony, born Antonio Ciacci on February 9, 1941, was a renowned Italian singer and actor who became a prominent figure in the music scene during the late 1950s and remained active until his passing in 2013. His stage name was a nod to his admiration for Little Richard, and under that moniker, he charmed audiences across Italy and the broader European continent with his rock and roll style, heavily influenced by the American genre.

Little Tony was especially known for his standout hit "Cuore Matto," which became one of the most emblematic songs of the era and solidified his status as a pop culture icon. Throughout his career, he demonstrated remarkable versatility by exploring various musical styles, including ballads, rock, and pop. His discography is a testament to his sustained popularity, with albums like "With the Brothers," where he celebrated his family ties, and collections like "31 Grandi Successi" and "69 Grandi Successi" that showcase his timeless appeal through remastered classics.

Beyond his recorded work, Little Tony was also an entertainer on screen, with a number of film roles that allowed him to display his charismatic stage presence. His contributions to music were not only marked by his distinctive voice but also by his flamboyant performances and his ability to connect deeply with his fans. Up until the later years of his life, Little Tony remained a beloved figure in Italian music, with releases such as "The Love Boat 'Profumo di Mare'" and "Little Tony - Italian Classics" reflecting his lasting legacy in the sphere of Italian entertainment.
