Renato zero carla fracci biography

Zero started his career in the s, when he fully embraced the climate of freedom and rebellion that had invested the country after the events of Drag attire, long hair, full on make up and glittery stage props, all contributed to make of Renato the first artist of his kind in Italy. His words spoke for the first time about issues that pop music had not touched before but which clearly interested and attracted a huge audience.

What seemed at first to be simply provocative turned out to be a significant call to fans who really wanted to connect with the issues he was able to raise.

He brought into the spotlight the topic of homosexuality, until then carefully left out of the Italian entertainment industry. Zero always took a very ambiguous approach to the topic and this made his songs even more powerful; in many ways we can say that he anticipated people like Madonna or more recently, Lady Gaga. Indeed, before Zero no one had seen a man dressed like a woman and give a real performance, without mocking or spoofing it.

But, Zero did it; he did it on his records, he did on his TV appearances and he did it on his live shows. His success was huge and very fast, and he put together a marquis that was home to his concerts. He called it Zerolandia and the rest is history. This captured the interest of his former fans and also intrigued newer fans, youngsters who connected with him just like their parents had.

Since his comeback, he has not stopped and actually has been able to book even more time on TV than before, with very special guest appearances.
