The Passing
With a post on Facebook, Eugenio Bennato announced yesterday the death of his younger brother, Giorgio Zito Bennato, who was also a musician. He died suddenly at his home in Naples, the man was 74 years old. "Goodbye Giorgio, the youngest of us three, the wisest of us three", his brother wrote, posting some images on social media.
Artist and musician, Giorgio had decided to present himself in the world of entertainment with his mother's surname, "Zito", so as not to exploit his brothers' fame. He made his debut with them at a young age, playing the banjo, percussion, acoustic guitar, and also working as a sound technician. Founder of the rock group Diesel, he worked with Eduardo on the album "La Torre di Babele" and participated in the 1980 Sanremo festival with the song "Ma vai, vai". Together with his brothers, he created the 55 Musical Editions and then Cheyenne records. Among the first to express their condolences to the family was director Giorgio Verdelli. The three Bennato brothers sang the song "Domani" together in 2017.
