Leo Chiosso

Leo Chiosso met Fred Buscaglione in the nightclubs of Turin in the 1930s, and out of that friendship came some forty songs. Chiosso wrote the words — Che bambola, Che notte, Eri piccola così, Whisky facile, Teresa non sparare. Born in Chieri, near Turin, he went on after Buscaglione's death in 1960 to write lyrics including Parole, parole and Torpedo blu, and worked widely in television and film. He died in 2006.
