Biography
Arti & Mestieri is an Italian progressive rock and jazz fusion band formed in Turin in 1974 by drummer Furio Chirico. Its founding sextet recorded the Italian prog classics 'Tilt' (1974) and 'Giro di valzer per domani' (1975) for #Cramps#. After a first run ending in the mid-1980s, the band re-formed in 2001 around Chirico, Gigi Venegoni, Beppe Crovella and Marco Gallesi, and remains active, with later albums including 'Murales' (2001) and 'Universi paralleli' (2015).
