Rino Gaetano (Crotone, 29 October 1950 – Rome, 2 June 1981) was an Italian musician and singer-songwriter who was born in Crotone, Calabria.
In March 1960, at the age of ten, his family moved to Rome, where he would spend the rest of his life.
He is famous for his satirical songs and oblique yet incisive political commentary. He is remembered for his raspy voice, for the heavily ironic lyrics of his songs and his social protests. He died in a car accident at age 30. He was a popular and influential figure, widely re-evaluated by the following teen generations.
Success for Gaetano came the following year with the 45 rpm hit record Ma il cielo è sempre più blu ("But the sky is always bluer"), perhaps now the most famous and instantly recognisable of his songs. Unusually, the 45 contained only one song, but it was split into two. In this song Gaetano offers several pictures of everyday life, with irony, clichés and contradictions, citing also his hometown Calabria.

[It's Halloween The Tri-squad, Akari and the Minato siblings are in a park sitting in a circle trading candy and listen to Isami tell lame ghost stories]
Isami: And the man said, "Here's your daughter's sweater. She left it in my car last night." And the woman said, "Why, that's impossible. My daughter died ten years ago. Wearing that...very...sweater."
Taiga: So?
Isami: So, she was dead. And...he gave her a ride. And she was dead!
Akari: When I was 10 I saw a construction worker fall off a roof and get impaled on Rebar, your story was not scary.
Isami: Not scary? The ghost of a dead girl gave him her sweater!
Titas: What does a ghost even need with a sweater?
Asahi: Maybe it's to keep her guts from falling out.
Taiga: You can tell it was not scary because Fum-bina here didn’t run screaming for the hills.
{Akari glares at Fuma who push her aside to escape when they were going through a haunted maze together, Katsumi ended up going back in to rescue Akari when she got lost and she's pretty much been glued to the elder Minato brother all night much to Fuma's churning.]
Fuma: Hey! Where is it written that a guy has to protect his girl, huh? And I'll have you know that the feminine form of my name is Fumie!
Taiga: Look, Fumie. I was scared back there too, but even I went to protect Shio even though she can easily look after herself, that's what being a couple is about having each others back.
Shio: Oh! by the way...
(Asahi and Shio punch Fuma in the arms)
Fuma: Ow!...Why?
Asahi: Because you're being a Jerk!
Shio: Yeah, who leaves their terrified girlfriend alone to save himself?
{Titas and Kasumi manage to calm everyone down before returning to the stories.]
Isami: OK, so Ichabod Crane lived in the village of Sleepy Hollow.
Titas: Wait, don't us! He left his jacket somewhere.
Isami, fed-up: OK, that's it! Halloween's over!
[Fuma and Akari eventually made up, after Fuma saved her from a creepy stalker dressed as a clown who tried to follow her into the park restrooms.]
