Supergiovane is a new superhero who defends teenagers from the wrath of grown-ups. This turbo-charged mini-suite first appeared in 1992 as the centrepiece of the "Italyan, Rum Casusu Çikti" album, and it has since become a live favourite, played on almost every date to ecstatic response.
In concert as well as on record, the track features architect Luca Mangoni (Elio's former school buddy) as the titular character. On stage, he slips into a ludicrous yellow and black superhero costume and easily works the audience into a frenzy by cavorting and bouncing to and fro, shouting random profanities and hurling his mic-stand skyward.
