**********MODERN ENGLISH VERSION**********
How the BRUSCHETTA BROTHERS' thing started
One day, some 17 years ago, Filippo was peacefully sleeping when Pavarotti appeared in his dreams. He was looking all as usual, but with a garlic+oil bruschetta instead of his head. He solemnly ordered that he should immediately find a partner to set up a project of unknown purpose, called 'Pasta carbonara Brothers', due to the opera singer's favourite dish. Filippo woke up in a cold sweat, and then fell asleep again. He then woke up in November 2006, and he came across Francesco who was minding his own business, while distinctively eating a slab of garlic+oil bruschetta. This was a divine sign. Francesco fell asleep immediatley, dreaming of riding a wild horse in Tuscany, all was looking as usual but with pasta carbonara instead of horseshoes. The die was cast. The Bruschetta Brothers are the present-day synthesis of those magic events of the past.
Despite being in touch with supernatural entities, the bruschetta boys have rather worldly origins and, before hanging around in Britain, they were based in the very neighbouring cities of Arezzo, Tuscany and Bolzano, Südtirol. They're also quite keen on languages and you can address them with swear words in Spanish, German and French in additon to the obvious English and Italian.
****NEW!!***** Check out the songs we uploaded. They are the result of a Sunday afternoon of crazy recording at home, with home-made tools and remains of a bad cold for one of us. We'd have thrown all the files away, if it wasn't for a very peculiar feature that characterised those moments, adding an unvaluable meaning: a slab of rotting brie cheese hidden inside Filippo's desktop pc case. The smell accompained us in nasty waves throughout the recording, and we were wondering what it was and so on. After coming to terms with it, deciding it must have been a natural biological emission from some unknown source, we parted. It was only a couple of days later that the brie was found (hidden there by a friend of us 10 days before), to our massive astoundment.

Influences: Many authors & bands influenced the Bruschetta Brothers, both as musicians and as human beings, but isn't it sometimes bloody boring to list down (and consequently, read) all the names in this space!? So let us make a summary. If they were to draw an overall balance of the most influential personalities, they would list (in random order) the following names:

Dante ALIGHIERI, Giacomo PUCCINI , Mohandas Karamchand GANDHI, Whitney HOUSTON.
Sounds Like: To date the BBrothers have only performed COVERS of what they like the most of Italian music of all times. They re-arranged the music to suit it to the secret instruments they love to play to please their groupies, and occasionally translated the lyrics in English, as the song was too rude to be left ununderstood by the international public. There is also an original BBrothers' jingle boiling down, and possibly some complete songs.
Type of Label: Major
