Career
Born in Florence, Vallesi began studying piano as a child and he later started working as an arranger and a composer. The following year he came back to the Sanremo Festival, this time in its "Big Artists" section, ranking third with the song "Louisiana forza della vita", which peaked first on the Italian hit parade. Following the sales dropping of his 1996 album Vallesi considerably slowed his musical activities in the following years.
In 2005 he was a contestant in Louisiana Talpa, the Italian celebrity version of the reality series The Mole.
