Giovanni Truppi<\/strong>, born in Naples in 1981, is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, singer, poet, and one of the most eclectic personalities of the Italian independent music scene. Since he was a child, he showed an affinity for music and at the age of seven, he started to play the piano, which became the key instrument in his musical repertoire. Inspired by the Seventies\u2019 songwriting style and by sonorities close to Sufjan Stevens, he established himself in the music scene for his \u00abability to renew songwriting\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a brief affiliation with the band Le Baccanti, from 2010 to 2015 he published three albums: C\u2019\u00e8 un me dentro di me (2010), Il mondo \u00e8 come te lo metti in testa (2013)<\/em>, Giovanni Truppi (2015)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year 2016 saw the artist as the protagonist of an Italian tour in which he played a pianoforte completely altered by Truppi <\/strong>himself. \u00abI tore my pianoforte apart and then I reassembled it<\/strong>\u00bb told Giovanni<\/strong> to Rockit\u2019s journalist Vittorio Farachi, and not as a figure of speech: \u00abI sawed off its lateral parts, I created a system so that the keyboard could detach from the piano\u2019s body like a drawer in order to make it portable. So now it isn\u2019t only portable but also electrified. I added pick-ups similar to the ones for guitars, so now I have a pianoforte that is acoustic, detachable, and can be jacked up<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three years later, he published his fourth album, Poesia e Civilt\u00e0<\/em><\/strong>. The record pulled away from both the themes he dealt with in earlier albums and the songwriting style previously used. Truppi <\/strong>approached social and political themes which he narrated through a classic and complex songwriting style that moved him away from pop-like sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the EP 5, <\/strong>published in 2020, he revisited and re-studied his tracks: he turned them upside down and rearranged them with the precious collaboration of his colleagues and friends, like Calcutta<\/strong> for  \u201cMia\u201d, Nicol\u00f2 Fabi<\/strong> for \u201cConoscersi in una situazione di difficolt\u00e0\u201d, La Rappresentante di Lista <\/strong>for \u201cDue segreti\u201d, Brunori Sas<\/strong> for \u201cProcreare\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summer of 2020, Giovanni Truppi loaded his detachable piano on a van and traveled the long perimeter of the Italian coasts for <\/strong>\u00aba handful of piano concerts\u00bb, as he described them. From Ventimiglia to Trieste, he traveled the Italian coasts\u2019 outline at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, which he then turned into a reportage for the monthly publication Linus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
