Homo Sapiens (sometimes spelled as Gli Homo Sapiens) is an Italian pop rock group who were mainly successful in the 1970s.
Career
[edit]The group formed in the late 1960s as I Tarli.[1][2] They adopted the current name in 1972, and had their first success in 1975 with the ballad "Tornerai tornerò", which reached the ninth place on the Italian hit parade.[1][3]
The group won the 1977 Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Bella da morire", which was also a commercial success, peaking at second place on the hit parade.[1][3] After a further success with the song "Io e te stasera", the group disbanded in the early 1980s, then reunited in 1990.[2][3]
