Biography
Ligabue was born in Correggio, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Before becoming a successful singer, he held various jobs, working in agriculture and in factories.

The following year his fellow Emilian singer-songwriter Pierangelo Bertoli was the first to discover Ligabue's writing talents, and included one of Ligabue's songs, "Sogni di Rock'n'Roll" ("Rock'n'Roll Dreams"), in his new LP. Correggio is a small town in the Province of Reggio Emilia, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, in the Po valley. ...
