Lucio Corsi

Lucio Corsi is a 31-year-old singer-songwriter from Tuscany, originally from Val di Campo di Vetulonia. After playing guitar in several local bands, he moved to Milan in 2012 and embarked on a solo career, writing and performing his own songs in Italian.
In 2015, he released his first two EPs, “Vetulonia Dakar” and “Altalena Boy” (produced by Federico Dragogna and released by Picicca Dischi). Two years later, he followed up with his debut album, “Bestiario Musicale”, a concept record inspired by the animals of his homeland, the Maremma. That same year, he opened for Baustelle and Brunori SAS on their theater tours and performed at various festivals across Italy.
In 2020, he signed with Sugar Music and released his second studio album, “Cosa faremo da grandi?”, co-produced with Francesco Bianconi and Antonio Cupertino. The album was accompanied by the visionary work of director Tommaso Ottomano, with whom he continued to collaborate on his 2023 album, “La Gente Che Sogna”. This record embraced the sounds of 1970s glam rock, a longtime passion of his, while exploring themes of dreams, night, and imagination. Widely praised by critics and audiences alike, the album led to a performance at the prestigious Premio Tenco. In May 2023, he embarked on an extensive tour, including a special opening slot for “The Who” at Firenze Rocks, which wrapped up in fall 2024.
On November 12, 2024, he returned with the new single “Tu sei il mattino” (also on Sugar Music), featuring a special cameo by Carlo Verdone in its music video. The song also plays a key role in “Vita da Carlo – Season 3”, the series starring Verdone, available exclusively on Paramount+.
Lucio Corsi takes part for the first time in the 75th edition of the Sanremo Festival (February 11-15, 2025), finishing in second place and winning the Mia Martini Critics’ Prize with the song Volevo essere un duro. The track anticipates his self-titled new album, set for release on March 21, 2025.
In April he will embark on his sold-out Club Tour 2025 in the main Italian clubs, followed by his summer tour of 23 shows, including two special appointments in Rome and Milan in hippodromes. Lucio Corsi will represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, taking place in May in Switzerland (May 13th-17th), a new significant career milestone.
VOLEVO ESSERE UN DURO
Volevo essere un duro
“Vivere la vita
È un gioco da ragazzi
Me lo diceva mamma ed io
Cadevo giù dagli alberi
Quanto è duro il mondo
Per quelli normali
Che hanno poco amore intorno
O troppo sole negli occhiali
Volevo essere un duro”VOLEVO ESSERE UN DURO
