I Desideri formed in Rome in the late 1950s, a group of musicians playing local gigs. Their 1961 single "Chesta Sera" became a hit in Italy, a dance track that reached the top of the charts.
Keyboardist Enrico Polito and drummer Renzo Zenobi stayed with the band through lineup changes. They released albums like "Il Mondo di Ieri" in 1965 and "Psichedelia" in 1967, moving through pop and rock sounds.
A 1965 concert in Bologna had some trouble with violence, which briefly affected how people saw them. They kept recording into the early 1970s, putting out "Una Nuova Vita" in 1970.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
