Paolo Benvegnù (14 February 1965 – 31 December 2024) was an Italian singer-songwriter, active for over thirty years.
Life and career
Born in Milan, Benvegnù made his professional debut in 1993 with the alternative rock band Scisma [it], with whom he released three albums between 1995 and 1999. He made his solo debut in 2004 with the album Piccoli fragilissimi film.
During his career Benvegnù got 8 nominations at Targa Tenco, winning the prize for best album in 2024 for È inutile parlare d’amore. His style has been described as "feverish, disorienting, capable of sublime lightness and dizzying dives, pointing straight at the darkest side of himself, laying bare the restlessness, contradictions and ultimate essence of our contemporary". He has also been active as an actor, a producer, and a composer for other artists, notably Mina, Marina Rei and Irene Grandi. He made his last appearence on 30 December 2024, in Via Dei Matti n°0, a Rai 3 show hosted by Stefano Bollani and Valentina Cenni. A heart patient, he died of stroke the next day at his home on Lake Garda.
