Lucio Corsi, the Tuscan singer-songwriter, has captured hearts at the 75th Sanremo Festival with his song "Volevo essere un duro," earning him the Mia Martini Critics' Prize.

Known for his unique blend of folk-pop and glam rock, Corsi's performance marked his official debut at the festival, though he had previously appeared in Carlo Verdone's series "Vita da Carlo" as a Sanremo contestant.

His song reflects on societal pressures to be perfect, delivering a poignant message about embracing imperfection.

Despite finishing second to Olly's "Bastarda Nostalgia," Corsi's artistry has gained widespread acclaim, with sold-out concerts and admiration from fellow artists like Cesare Cremonini.

His passion for music and storytelling continues to resonate, making him a standout figure in Italy's independent music scene.
