Denovo (band)

Denovo is an Italian New wave group formed in the early 1980s in Catania. They are also referred to as I Denovo.

Background
The band officially debuted with the EP Niente insetti su Wilma, released in 1984, which had some local success and received several appreciations from the critics. The group had his breakout in 1987, with the album Persuasione, referred to as "one of the best products of the Italian indie scene of the 1980s". After several hits and two more albums, the group disbanded in 1990s, with Mario Venuti and Luca Madonia pursuing solo careers and Toni Carbone focusing on production. Following several occasional reunions, notably a special appearance at the 2008 Sanremo Music Festival, the group officially reunited in 2014 for the album Kamikaze Bohemien.

Bass guitarist Toni Carbone died on 11 July 2023, at the age of 62.
