Peppino di Capri, thanks to the gift of perfect pitch, in 1943, at just four years old, to help his family, played for the American soldiers stationed in Capri. He left Capri and, thanks also to his intuition for innovation and the search for new sounds, won the competition of the Rai program “Primo Applauso”. Success smiled upon him and the 50s marked the beginning of a great career for him with the stage name Peppino di Capri.
