Piero about his band mates for inrock
We have been working together for about 8 years but I think that everyone grew up and changed quite a bit. We were still 14 or 15 years old when we debuted [Gianluca was 14; Ignazio 15; Piero 16], but we were asked to grow at a fairly fast rate. In the past, Ignazio was the member who was always joking and was laughing when we were at lunch, but now he is more mature and serious. Of course, he is still a fun and bright person, making an atmosphere better. However, Ignazio is a very touchy person. I know him well, so I can understand how to handle him and how to talk to him, but if you don’t know him well, it might be a bit tough to get along. For example, it is definitely taboo to say to him stuff like “I am a better driver than you.”
At the beginning Gianluca seemed easy to get angry and I thought that it would be pretty frustrating when we grouped together, but at that time he was simply not confident in himself, he just wanted our approval. Of course now he is like a twin to me. I can not compare him with my older brother, but they are part of me and I feel that I am part of them. Either in good time or bad time. Fortunately, I think that we are having much more good times.
We always support each other. Of course, we also do a lot of quarrels. It may be an argument rather than a fight. But everyone is an adult, not an idiot, so we discuss it properly and draw solutions. Since we are together everyday and we are like living together, we have to know how to quell the fight properly.
