Timeline
Little Tony was born as Antonio Ciacci in 1941 in Tivoli, Italy, but he was a citizen of San Marino. His parents were born there, and he never applied for Italian citizenship although he lived there most of his life. His father was a singer and accordionist.
Inspired by the new rock and roll sounds from the USA, Antonio formed his own rock and roll group in 1957. He was the lead singer, with his older brother Alberto on bass and his younger brother Enrico on guitar. Little Tony was an emulation of Little Richard. The following year, Little Tony & His Brothers were signed by Durium Records, who released a series of covers of American rock and roll songs by them in Italy. Their hits included Lucille, Johnny B. Goode, Splish Splash and Shake Rattle and Roll.
In 1959, Italian singer Marino Marini was in London to appear on the TV show Oh Boy!, and recommended the group to the producer Jack Good. Good visited Italy to see a Milan concert by Little Tony & His Brothers, was impressed, and signed them on the spot. They moved to England, where they would live and perform for some 18 months.
They made their first appearance on Good's new TV show Boy Meets Girls in September 1959, and released their first single in the UK, I Can't Help It - the 11th single of their career in Italy - on the Decca label. Tony was nicknamed 'the boy with the ducktail'. Their third British single was for the first time recorded in London.
The result, the rock ballad Too Good, written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, reached # 19 on the UK singles chart in January 1960. It was their only chart success in Britain.
He also contributed songs to popular Musicarellos as I Teddy boys della canzone/The Teddy Boys Lyrics (Domenico Paolella, 1960) and the spoof Rocco e le sorelle/Rocco and the Sisters (Giorgio Simonelli, 1961). The following year the group returned more permanently in Italy. Little Tony Then worked as a solo singer and started to sing in Italian.

(Bruno Corbucci, 1967).
One of his biggest hit songs was Cuore matto (Heart Of The Matter), which #1 for nine consecutive weeks in 1967. Two years later, he formed his own record label, Little Records and continued to record regularly. During his career he also had hits in Europe and South America and had countless albums released in Italy.
