Biography
Italian singer, composer and actor. He's considered one of the most popular Italian singers of the 1960s. SIAE estimated a sale of over 50 million records worldwide. As of 2006, Vianello's songs were included in the soundtracks of 64 films.
Vianello started his career in 1956. He obtained his first successes in 1961, with "Il capello" and "Pinne fucile ed occhiali," which both ranked second in the Italian Hit Parade. Later he obtained several more hits (including "Guarda come dondolo," "Abbronzatissima" and "O mio signore" which charted at #1 and "I Watussi" which charted at #3) in the second half of the 1960s. After a less successful period, he re-launched his career in the 1970s founding the duo Vianella with his wife Wilma Goich. The main hit of the period was "Semo gente de borgata," which ranked 7 in Hit Parade. In the late 1970s he reprised his solo career.
