History and profile

It was established in Sanremo in 1972 by Amilcare Rambaldi. [1] [2] [3] The third association named after singer-songwriter Luigi Tenco after the clubs founded in Rome and Venice in 1967, it has been described as the "Italian leading point for songwriting" and "a fundamental driving force behind new ideas for quality music". [2] According to its statute, its scope is "to gather all those who, brought together by Luigi Tenco's message, seek to valorise "canzone d'autore", pursuing artistic dignity and poetic realism within popular music". [2] [4]

The club publishes records and books and organises exhibitions and festivals throughout Italy, the most important of them being the "Rassegna della canzone d'autore", commonly known as Premio Tenco, which was founded in 1974 and during which the prestigious Premio Tenco ("Tenco Prize", a career award to singer-songwriters and cultural operators) and Targa Tenco ("Tenco Plate", a prize established in 1984 and given for the best works of the year) are assigned.
