Francesco Maria Tricarico (Milan, 1 February 1971), better known under the mononym Tricarico, is an Italian singer-songwriter.Massimo Cotto Il grande libro del rock (e non-solo) 881704850X 2011 ... ed era lo stesso 1971 – nasce Francesco Tricarico, il ragazzo che giura di volere una vita tranquilla e che scrive da sempre canzoni bellissime che sembrano ...[http://imperia.mentelocale.it/29621-festival-di-sanremo-2011-tricarico-risponde-alle-critiche-l-intervista/ interview] Tricarico is mainly known for his top-five hits "Io sono Francesco", released in 2000, and "Vita tranquilla", which was launched during the Sanremo Music Festival 2008.

Music career

Tricarico rose to fame in 2000, when he released his debut single, "Io sono Francesco", which hit number one in Italy, selling more than 60,000 copies and generating some controversy following its lyrical content, which included an insult to a school teacher and was therefore censored by some radio stations.{{cite web|url=http://www.repubblica.it/online/spettacoli/tricariconew/tricariconew/tricariconew.html|work=la Repubblica|language=Italian|accessdate=23 August 2014|archivedate=3 July 2011|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110703110832/http://www.repubblica.it/online/spettacoli/tricariconew/tricariconew/tricariconew.html|title=Il primo album di Tricarico in anteprima su Repubblica.it|author=Carlo Moretti}}{{cite web|url=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2001/06/05/tricarico-un-drago-singolo.html|work=la Repubblica|language=Italian|accessdate=23 August 2014|date=5 June 2001|title=Tricarico, un Drago singolo|author=Carlo Moretti}} Tricarico's self-titled debut album was released two years later.

After releasing his second album, Frescobaldo nel recinto, Tricarico wrote and recorded the song "Solo per te", which was played during the ending credits of Leonardo Pieraccioni's film I Love You in Every Language in the World.{{cite web|url=http://www.repubblica.it/2005/l/sezioni/spettacoli_e_cultura/pieraccioni/pieraccioni/pieraccioni.html|work=la Repubblica|language=Italian|accessdate=23 August 2014|title=Pieraccioni: Il mio film di Natale non ha paura di King Kong|author=Rita Celi|date=12 December 2005}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.rockol.it/artista/Tricarico|language=Italian|accessdate=23 August 2014|title=Tricarico – Biografia|archivedate=23 August 2014|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140823191234/http://www.rockol.it/artista/Tricarico}} The song received a nomination for the Nastro d'Argento 2006 for Best Original song.{{cite web|url=http://ricerca.gelocal.it/ilpiccolo/archivio/ilpiccolo/2006/02/05/NZ_15_ELIS.html|work=Il Piccolo|language=Italian|accessdate=23 August 2014|date=5 February 2006|title=Per Elisa un duetto con Tina Turner|author=Ciro Vitiello|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140823190532/http://ricerca.gelocal.it/ilpiccolo/archivio/ilpiccolo/2006/02/05/NZ_15_ELIS.html|archivedate=23 August 2014}}

In 2009, Tricarico competed in the Big Artists section of the 58th Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Vita tranquilla", which received the Critics' Award "Mia Martini".{{cite web|url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/2008/marzo/02/Fede_qui_vorrei_Fiorello_Bondi_co_9_080302085.shtml|work=Corriere della Sera|language=Italian|accessdate=2 March 2008|title=Fede: qui vorrei Fiorello (e Bondi a recitare poesie)|author=Maria Luisa Agnere|date=2 March 2008}} The song was included in his third studio album, Giglio.
