Musical artist

Giuseppe Chierchia (IPA: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈkjɛrkja]; 14 August 1952 – 6 July 2024), known professionally as Pino D'Angiò (IPA: [ˈpiːno danˈdʒɔ]), was an Italian singer-songwriter. He was best known for his 1980 hit Italo disco song, "Ma quale idea".

Life and career

Born in Pompei, D'Angiò spent his childhood between the United States and Canada, before returning to Italy in 1963. Inspired by Fred Buscaglione's artistic personality and style, he made his recording debut in 1979, with the single "È libero, scusi?". In 1980, he obtained international success with his signature song "Ma quale idea", which sold over two million copies. He released several more singles and albums in the same style, notably "Un concerto da strapazzo", "Fammi un panino", and "Genoveffa". By 1990, his recordings had sold over four million copies.

Under the name Age of Love, he and producer Bruno Sanchioni released an eponymous track in 1990, which featured vocals by French dancer Valérie Honoré. The vocal is often misattributed to Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder. Starting from the late 1980s, he also worked as a television and radio presenter and writer.

D'Angiò also composed songs for other artists, notably "Ma chi è quello lì" for Mina. In 2024, he took part in the Sanremo Music Festival 2024 where he presented a new version of "Ma quale idea" together with the band Bnkr44; the ensuing single was a hit, being certified platinum.

In his later years D'Angiò faced multiple health issues, including throat cancer, lung cancer, and a stroke. He died on 6 July 2024, at the age of 71.
