"Sandro Giacobbe, il cantautore che ha lasciato segno in Italia con canzoni indimenticabili, è morto today in his home in Gogorno, in the Genovese Levant. A source close to the family has confirmed this.
The 75-year-old Giacobbe had been fighting cancer for over ten years with great courage. He was a music legend with hits like "Signora mia" and "Gli occhi di tua madre", which remained on top of the national and international charts in the 70s and 80s.
Giacobbe lived in Moneglia for decades, but recently moved to San Salvatore di Cogorno. The singer had played football with the local team before becoming a coach at the Italian singers' national team, which he also led. He is survived by his wife and two children, Andrea and Alessandro.
The music world is mourning the loss of this remarkable artist who left an indelible mark on Italian music."
