Antonio Stanzani, better known as Ciancio DJ, is a Bolognese
artist who has made his passion for music the cornerstone of his life. From a
young age, he cultivated a deep love for sound, exploring the winding paths of
record stores that pulsated in the heart of Bologna in the 1980s. Names like
"Nannucci" (a historical institution since 1936), "La Coja Di
Désc", "La Casa Del Disco", "Ricordi", "Terminal
Music", "Camarillo", and "Borsari Sarti" evoke a
golden era of searching, discovery, and authentic veneration for vinyl.
In 1985, the purchase of two Technics 1200 turntables
marked the formal beginning of his career as a DJ. For a decade, Ciancio DJ
ignited dance floors, actively contributing to the vibrant local music scene.
This fertile period is evidenced by an impressive archive: approximately 500
programs recorded on audiocassette and a collection of over 7000 vinyl records,
a true sonic treasure that recounts his dedication and musical eclecticism.Ahead of his time, in 1996 Ciancio DJ sensed the potential
of the web and created a website dedicated to music and cinema. This ever-evolving platform is now a point of

club gigs, Ciancio DJ has never stopped nurturing his passion for mixing and
musical research. Through his website, he freely shares his most recent DJ
sets, a gesture of generosity that demonstrates his desire to connect with a

an era dominated by digital technology, his predilection for physical records
