Enrico Ruggeri (born 5 June 1957) is an Italian singer-songwriter.
A native of Milan, Ruggeri made his debut in the 1970s with the punk band Decibel. [1] In 1981 he began his solo career and established himself as a songwriter: his most famous success in this latter role is "Il mare d'inverno" ("The winter sea"), brought to chart by Loredana Bertè.
He won the Sanremo Music Festival twice: in 1987 with "Si può dare di più" ("You can give more") together with Gianni Morandi and Umberto Tozzi, and in 1993 with "Mistero" ("Mystery"). He represented Italy at Eurovision Song Contest 1993 with the song "Sole d'Europa" ("Sun of Europe").
In 2016 Ruggeri re-joined the newly reformed Decibel and went on to participate in the 2018 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival. A special performance of their song "Lettera dal Duca" during one of the festival nights featured Midge Ure on vocals and guitar.
Ruggeri is a well-known supporter of Inter Milan.
