The band’s first recording was a 5 track EP titled "Guerra" (1982), followed the year after by a 45 rpm single " Luna/La preda", taken from their victory at the "2° festival rock italiano". The use of English was however abandoned early. The band used to sing some of its songs in English, the rest in Italian. The first concert took place on 8 december 1980 (the day John Lennon died) in Settignano near Florence. At that time, the music was influenced by punk and new-wave. Antonio Aiazzi on keyboards and Piero Pelù on vocals joined the band shortly after. The former band is composed of 4 members : Federico Renzulli (nicknamed Ghigo) on guitars, Gianni Maroccolo on bass, Sandro Dotta on lead guitar (he left the band after a few weeks) and Francesco Calamai on drums. The name Litfiba is the mixing of several words: Località ("place"), Italia (Italy), Firenze (Italian for the city of Florence) and "Via dei Bardi" ("Bardi street" where the band was based). From the early 1980s until now, the band evolved from a British influenced new-wave pop-rock to a more personal and inspired rock music, always with Italian singing. Litfiba originated from the meeting of 5 punk (though it was then on the decline), New Wave and simply rock music fans with then no musical background. Litfiba is an Italian rock band formed in Florence in early 1980 together with Diaframma. Img_capt = Piero Pelù and Federico "Ghigo" Renzulli ![]()
