“Volevo essere un duro” received an awards both for Best Album Overall and Best Single Song.
The album comprises nine tracks that explore themes of childhood, friendship, and love, born from the longstanding personal and artistic partnership between Lucio Corsi and Tommaso Ottomano (Sugar Music Publishing). Together, they co-wrote, composed, and co-produced the entire album.
To date, only three other artists have received this double honor: Fabrizio De André, Paolo Conte, and Samuele Bersani.

Jeymes Samuel, is a BAFTA-winning British director, writer, producer and composer. For CAM Sugar he curated Spaghetti Western Collection: a deep dive into the CAM Sugar catalogue to explore the sound of Italian Western cinema (1963–1972).
"I had the pleasure of diving into their vast archive to curate Red Light Disco, a collection of rare and unreleased tracks from sexploitation cinema and Italian sexy comedies. It’s my musical vision for the perfect red light party, an Italian-style party with a funky and sinful disco beat, psychedelic delirium, titillating percussion, and sexytronic madness. All to be listened to (and danced to) with a Negroni in hand and your best pair of bell-bottom pants, mandatory."
On December 12 and 14, 2025, thirty years after its composition, the only opera by Ennio Morricone, Partenope (music for the siren of Naples), will finally be performed. The event will close the celebrations for the 2500th anniversary of the founding of the city."
Sugar is proud to announce the acquisition of the main sound recordings by Gino Paoli and part of the publishing catalog of Eclectic Music Group.
