DELICATONI is an independent musical project born in the city of Vicenza.
The group is made up of Antonio Bettini, Smilian Jack Cibic, Giorgio Manzardo and Claudio Murru. Their musical style is diverse, ranging from sweet jazz ballads, dreamy psych-pop songs to ecstatic dance tracks. The project is inspired by the relationship between the beauty of their ancient neoclassical city and the digital and rationalized culture in which their music is placed. The name “Delicatoni” in fact suggests a paradoxical sense of caricatural delicacy, of tenderness and overflowing warmth.
Their first EP “Margherita”, characterized by a warm and jazzy digital sound, was released in 2020. In 2022, they released their self-titled debut album “Delicatoni”. Through collaboration with talented musicians from the Vicenza area, their lo-fi sound has matured into a project that is simultaneously traditional and experimental, acoustic and electronic, Italian and international.
The album received unexpected attention, being named the 14th Italian album of 2022 according to Rockit magazine. In 2023, Delicatoni released “Giorno libero”, a 4-track EP with sounds ranging from disco, jazz, soul, synth-pop and classical music. The EP serves as an appendix to the previous album, while showing elements that will be explored in their future projects. Since then, Delicatoni have been included in Rolling Stone’s list of emerging Italian artists of 2023.
On stage they reflect the noblest reason that drives them to make music: aggregation.
On September 27, 2024, “Passo Dopo Passo” was released, the first single from the new album “Delicatronic” arriving at the end of the year. The new recording project includes, as already presented during the year, a different live set, in a four-piece formation, completely electronic and aimed at the rhythmic and sonic experimentation of electronic and dance music.
During the weekend there the new night lines are available, to move around Bologna and its surroundings throughout the night (with departures every half hour!).
Get on board the N3 line and arrive at Covo (and go home!) whenever you want, wherever you live.
In this period (and for a long time) it is possible that in this area there'll be construction work that limit the availability of parking spots nearby. If you cannot find a parking space in viale Zagabria, we recommend looking in the following streets: Kharkov, della Campagna, Francoforte, Machiavelli.
