Life and career

Born in Rome, after graduating from a Technical-Commercial school Filippini studied music and chant and later entered the Sistine Chapel Choir.[1] In 1963 he won the Castrocaro Music Festival, and in 1964 he entered the competition at the Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Sabato sera", which was also a moderate success on the Italian hit parade.[1][2] The same year he also participated at Un disco per l'estate and at the Festival di Napoli.[1]

In 1965 he returned at the Sanremo Music Festival, becoming successful with the song "L'amore ha i tuoi occhi".[1][2] In the second half of the 1960s he also had some occasional experiences as a composer and as a film actor. In 1968 he was invited by Franco Zefirelli to perform the song "Canzone d'amore/Ai Giochi Addio" in the Italian release of his Romeo and Juliet film (voiced by Glen Weston as "What is a Youth" in the English-language release}. When his success declined in the 1970s, he focused on live performances in piano bars and music halls, as well as apparitions on several revival TV-programs.[1][2]
