Ricchi e Poveri

Sun and sand, pizza and pasta, Ricchi e Poveri. Hardly any other band captured the Italian way of life as well as this pop group, founded 60 years ago. They had their biggest hits in the 1980s with ‘Mamma Maria’, ‘Che sarà’ and, of course, the legendary stadium anthem ‘Sarà perche ti amo’. Ricchi e Poveri are coming to the Olympic Hall for a nostalgic evening featuring all their classics.

The band celebrated its first success in 1970 at the Sanremo Festival, when it took second place with ‘La prima cosa bella’. Ricchi e Poveri repeatedly took part in Italy's most famous music competition, and in 1978 they represented their home country with ‘Questo amore’ at the Eurovision Song Contest. Their definitive breakthrough came in the early 1980s, when their Sanremo song ‘Sará perche ti amo’ not only became a huge earworm and summer hit in 1981, but also a cult song among AC Milan fans in the year the Rossoneri finally returned to Serie A from the second division. Since then, the song has been played before every AC home game at the Giuseppe Meazza as the club and stadium anthem.

Ricchi e Poveri finally triumphed in Sanremo in 1985 with ‘Se m'innamoro’. After a long period of silence, the four founding members celebrated their reunion in 2020. Angela Brambati and Angelo Sotgiu are now performing as a duo, and in 2025 they thrilled their Australian fans, among others, on a sold-out Down Under tour. At the beginning of 2027, they will be coming to the Olympic Hall with plenty of Dolce Vita and Italian flair. A warming programme for a cold Munich January evening.
