Lucio Corsi is a Tuscan singer-songwriter, born in 1993 in Val di Campo di Vetulonia. In 2012, after various experiences as a guitarist in local bands, he moved to Milan. In the sprawling city, he decided to pursue a solo career, 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). In 2017, he followed with his first full-length album, “Bestiario Musicale”, a concept album about the animals of his homeland, the Maremma (Picicca Dischi). That same year, Lucio Corsi opened for the theater tour concerts of Baustelle and Brunori SAS, performing across Italy and taking part in various festivals.
In 2020, he released his second studio album for Sugar Music, “Cosa faremo da grandi?”, produced by Lucio himself alongside Francesco Bianconi and Antonio Cupertino, accompanied by the visionary works of director Tommaso Ottomano. The album was well received by both critics and the public, leading him to perform as a guest at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo during the 2021 Premio Tenco.
Continuing his collaboration with Ottomano, in 2023 he released his third album, “La Gente Che Sogna” (Sugar Music). On this record, he focused on the glam rock sounds of the 1970s, a great passion of his, while his lyrics explored themes such as darkness, sleep and dreams, reality, and imagination. In May 2023, he embarked on an extensive series of concerts, including opening for The Who at Firenze Rocks, which concluded in the autumn of 2024.
On November 12, 2024, he returned with the single “Tu sei il mattino” (also for Sugar Music), whose music video features a special appearance by Carlo Verdone. The song also plays a prominent role in Verdone’s TV series “Vita da Carlo – Season Three”, available exclusively on Paramount+.
In February, Lucio Corsi participated in the Sanremo Music Festival for the first time, finishing second and winning the “Mia Martini” Critics’ Award with the song “Volevo essere un duro”, certified platinum, which preceded the release of the eponymous album on March 21, 2025, now certified gold. This was followed by a sold-out club tour in major Italian cities, leading into a 28-date summer tour, including two special performances at the hippodromes in Rome and Milan.
From May 13 to 17, he represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel with “Volevo essere un duro”, and on July 8, he was announced as the winner at the 2025 Targhe Tenco Awards, receiving both Best Album Overall and Best Single Song for “Volevo essere un duro”.
On October 25, 2025, he will present the concert film “La Chitarra Nella Roccia – Lucio Corsi Live at the Abbey of San Galgano” at the 20th edition of the Rome Film Fest. Directed by Tommaso Ottomano and produced by Sugar, the eponymous live album will be released on November 14. In 2026, he is set for two major events: a European tour starting in January and arena dates in Florence, Rome, and Milan.
