I Nuovi Angeli ("The New Angels") are an Italian pop band formed in 1966 in Alessandria.

Background

The founding members were the singer Pasquale Canzi, Alberto Pasetti, Renato Sabbioni and Ricky Rebaioli.[1] The name refers to the eponymous drama film directed by Ugo Gregoretti.[2]

The band achieved some success when their first single, "L'ora più lunga" (1966), who was adopted as the opening theme for the RAI TV show La fiera dei sogni hosted by Mike Bongiorno.[2] After a period characterized by a beat production, in the late 1960s the group turned toward the bubblegum genre.[2] Their career got the peak in the early 1970s, thanks to several hits written by Roberto Vecchioni,[1][2] including "Donna Felicità" (1971) and "Anna da dimenticare" (1973) which entered the Italian charts respectively at position #4 and #6.[3] The band is still active despite numerous lineup changes.
