Antonello Venditti (born 8 March 1949) is an Italian singer-songwriter who became famous in the 1970s for the social themes of his songs.
Antonello Venditti was born in Rome, the son of a police commissioner from Molise, who would later become deputy-chief of police in Rome.
He studied piano in his youth and made his debut in the music world in the early 1970s at the Folkstudio of Rome, together with singers like Francesco De Gregori and Giorgio Lo Cascio. In duo with the former he released in 1972 his first LP, Theorius Campus. The LP scored little success, but Venditti at least made himself noted for the strength of his vocal qualities and for his attention to social issues, evidenced by pieces like Sora Rosa which is sung in Roman dialect. Also in dialect was Roma Capoccia, a declaration of love for his city, which later became one of his most famous songs. Curiously, Venditti refused to sing it for several years, as he considered it not politically or socially "engaged" enough.
Venditti subsequently moved to Milan and released L'orso bruno (1973), made in collaboration with musician Vince Tempera; this album included another song in dialect, E li ponti so' soli, but otherwise was marked by an even stronger attention to social themes. His next work, Le cose della vita ("Things of Our Life"), released the same year for the colossus RCA Music, confirmed this tendency. The following LP Quando verrà Natale ("When Christmas Comes") was similar; its even more naked arrangements emphasize the strength of Venditti's denunciation. After a live performance of the song "A Cristo" ("To Christ"), he was denounced by an Italian police officer for blasphemy. Venditti, however, was later totally acquitted.

Lo sguardo trova sempre quello che cerca il cuore
guardando dentro me ritrovo il tuo dolore
io ti amerò per sempre tu mi dicevi allora
ricordo le tue labbra ridevano all'aurora
Quanto tempo fa
tu lo diresti ancora
ora che la nostra vita va così
voglio solo te
io lo voglio ancora
ora che il silenzio scende su di noi
Forever
io ti amerò per sempre
sarò come vuoi tu
ti cercherò per sempre
sarò come vuoi tu
E intanto fuori cambia c'è odore di tempesta
i tuoni in lontananza la vita è quel che resta
Tu ti stringevi a me
stringimi più forte
che questa notte finirà
voglio solo te
io lo voglio ancora
ora che il silenzio scende su di noi
Forever
io ti amerò per sempre
sarò come vuoi tu
ti cercherò per sempre
ti cercherò forever
Forever
Forever
io ti amerò per sempre
sarò come vuoi tu
ti cercherò per sempre
io ti amerò per sempre
