Early Life and Musical Beginnings

Albano Carrisi was born into a humble farming family in 1943.

His father, fighting in Albania during World War II, named him "Albano" (Albanian) in honor of his wartime experience, despite it not being a traditional Italian name. Splitting his name into "Al Bano," it would become his stage pseudonym.

Despite the hardships of his childhood, Al Bano found solace in singing. At age 12, he composed his debut song, "Addio Sicilia" (Farewell, Sicily), though he never recorded it commercially.

At 16, he left home for Milan, determined to pursue his musical aspirations.
