- Comments
- Lyricist, composer, singer-songwriter, author and actor born in Tripoli when Libya was an Italian colony. His songs often reflected his over-the-top lifestyle: that of a ladies' man, who fights melancholy (or boredom, as he called it) with casual sexual relationships and alcohol. Nicknamed "il Califfo" (the Caliph, a play on his surname) or "Il Maestro" ("life teacher").
