Elio during a live performance

Stefano Belisari (born 30 July 1961 in Milan), nicknamed Elio, is an Italian singer, comedian, actor and musician. He is the founding members of the Italian rock band Elio e le Storie Tese.

Career

Elio founded Elio e le Storie Tese in 1980. He is the lead vocalist and occasionally plays the transverse flute (in which he is a graduate of the Milan Conservatory), the electric guitar and the electric bass.

In 2002, Elio graduated from the Polytechnic University of Milan with an MSc in electronic engineering. He had previously interrupted his studies following the success of his music career.

The texts of his songs are humorous and irreverent, and he listed Frank Zappa as a primary influence.

He has been a judge on the panel of the Italian version of The X Factor for five seasons, winning two of them through acts he mentored, Nathalie (season 4, 2010) and Giò Sada (season 9, 2015). He was also a judge at Italia's Got Talent in 2022.
