Flavio Giurato

Flavio Giurato (born 10 January 1949) is an Italian singer-songwriter.

Career Flavio Giurato, son of diplomat Giovanni Giurato, started his career as a songwriter, penning songs for artists like Anna Melato in the 1970s. He is the brother of journalist Luca Giurato, geologist Claudia Giurato, and cinematographer Blasco Giurato. His maternal grandfather was playwright Giovacchino Forzano.

Giurato signed with Dischi Ricordi and released his debut album, Per futili motivi, in 1978, a concept album telling a boy's story during the fascist era and the onset of World War II. The album gained popularity on private radio, particularly for its title track and "Che ne sapevo".

Giurato's subsequent work, Marco Polo (1984), did not achieve similar success, resulting in the termination of his contract with the label. Giurato continued to compose and perform intermittently but did not release any albums for 15 years, during which he also worked on documentaries. He later released Il manuale del cantautore (2002), La scomparsa di Majorana (2015), and Le promesse del mondo (2017).
