Career
Born in
Nanni Ricordi, he released several singles in the sixties, entering the competition at several music festivals including Cantagiro and Un disco per l'estate.[1][2]
The turning point of his career was the encounter with
Delirium and with whom, after that Fossati left the group, he released the album Poco prima dell'aurora.[2] Fossati and Prudente also composed songs for several other artists, including the hit "Pensiero stupendo" for Patty Pravo, that peaked at first place on the Italian hit parade.[2]
On November 25, 2023, Prudente and Ivano Fossati, together with Universal Music Group, sued Public Enemy for plagiarism of their song "Jesahel", since Fossati and Prudente are not recognized as co-authors of "Harder Than You Think".[3] [4]
