Luciano was an great man, born in Magenta year 1950. Magenta is a town and comune in the province of Milan in Lombardy, northern Italy. He grow up and spent most of his childhood in Viareggio, a big charming city and comune located in northern Tuscany, Italy.





Music was a big part of lucianos life, he played drums and acoustic guitar and sang. He spent much time on music and it gave him peace of mind. He was an member of Capitolo 6 from 1969 to 1971:






Capitolo 6 biography:
In 1969 a couple of musicians from Viareggio band GLI EREMITI (Luciano Casa and Jimmy Santerini) joined a band from Livorno (I Rangers), and the resulting five-piece was called CAPITOLO 6. Two drummers were included in this line-up, though Luciano Casa mostly played 12-string acoustic guitar and sang backing vocals. The group obtained a record deal with RCA subsidiary It (thanks to RCA producer Roberto Tessandori, who was also from Viareggio), a label that was much interested in singer-songwriters than in rock groups, and a second single on the new label appeared in 1971, the group being by now based in Rome. They had a promising live activity, playing at Viareggio festival in 1971, and even supported Led Zeppelin in Rome, but 1972 saw a line-up change, with original members Casa and Santerini leaving.








After luciano's music career stopped, he dedicated his life to the restaurant industry. With a combination of good cooking skills, charm, and live guitar, he had many success business projects over time.

Suddenly in year 1999 he was attacked with cancer in the throat. After a long treatment in Denmark on OUH with radiation therapy, he was on his way to get better. After regular controls for 5 years, he was cured with no cancer to detect at all.

After this experience luciano were more aware of being good to himself and took good care of his body, with regular exisise, vitamin supplements, healthy food and almost no alcohol. It was obvious that this unpleasant experience had changed him.

About 10 years later from his first illness, he was attacked again with cancer in the esophagus. This time it was more serious, because it was not possible to treat him as effective as the first time. He started on a chemo treatment in pisa in the beginning of 2009. Luciano lost much weight and lost most of his voice doing the treatment. The treatment was never a success and the 26-03-2010 he gave up and died.

This is just a very short version of Luciano's life. (a sad story about a man who had not deserved to get cancer again)

See you in heaven babbo
