Italian Swing BandThe real McCoy!

BIOGRAFIA !1

Mark Zitti e i Fratelli Coltelli

Although the tag “Made In Italy” still opens doors and which in a globalized market, still stands as an index of professionalism and quality, this is still not enough alone to create fans amongst a Royal family in the space of 6 years. For this you, need real talent and an ability to bring alive the word Entertainment, something that Mark Zitti and the Fratelli Coltelli know all about.

The band was born in 2005 in Italy, first playing out under the name of Joe Caruso and Brookolino Brothers, they celebrated their first important debut, supporting the iconic Elio’s swing band, (the lead singer from the celebrated Italian band Elio e le Storie Tese), in a concert dedicated to swing and jazz sounds. At their first performance, they created some unique songs for Emergency, collaborating with artists of national recognition.
