What is a fanlisting?

A fanlisting is a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor, actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject. In this case the subject is the Italian male musician Luciano Ligabue.

About Luciano Ligabue

Ligabue was born at Correggio, in the province of Reggio Emilia. Before becoming a reckoned singer, he held various job, including agriculture and mechanical industry worker.
He entered in the music world in 1987, when he founded the amateur band Orazero.
For this band he wrote several original songs, with which they participated to several local and national contests. The following year his fellow Emilian singer-songwriter Pierangelo Bertoli was the first to discover his writing talents, and included one of Ligabue's songs, "Sogni di Rock'n'Roll" ("Rock'n'Roll Dreams"), in his new LP.

The following year Bertoli introduced him to producer Angelo Carrara, to finish an LP of his own, Ligabue, which was released in May 1990. Ligabue soon gained a fame as one of the most successful Italian rock stars, finding fans mainly among younger audiences.

His most famous hit include "Balliamo sul mondo" ("Let's Dance Over the World"), "Ho perso le parole" ("I've Lost the Words") and the most successful of all, "Certe Notti" ("These nights"), which was voted as "Italian song of the 1990s" in a poll held by a popular music magazine. He also collaborated with another famous singer-songwriter, Francesco Guccini, who also had a part in Ligabue's first movie (see later).

Ligabue directed his first movie, Radiofreccia, in 1998, a semi-autobiographical story of a local radio station. Critics acclaimed it as a surprisingly well shot for a newcomer, and the film received 3 David di Donatello (the highest award of Italian cinema). He also composed the soundtrack. Four years later he shot DaZeroADieci ("From Zero to Ten"): however, it was not as well welcome as the first work, both by critics and fans.

On September 10, 2005, Ligabue held a concert in Reggio Emilia to celebrate his first 15 years of activity.

This scored the European record of audience for a single artist pay concert, with a crowd of 180,000 come to listen his songs. Ligabue has also published a short story collection, Fuori e dentro il Borgo, which won several literary awards, and a science-fiction novel La neve se ne frega (2005).
