Italian rock band Modà started when singer Francesco "Kekko" Silvestre met guitarist Matteo "Tino" Alberti and Enrico Palmosi (who later became their arranger). Soon, Paolo Bovi, an old acquaintance of Silvestre's, came in on keyboard. Lead guitarist Diego Arrigoni, bassist Stefano Forcella, and drummer Manuel Signoretto joined. In 2005, Modà signed with Around the Music Records. The group released its sophomore album, Quello Che Non Ti Ho Detto, in 2006. Two years later, the band returned with Sala D'Attesa featuring drummer Claudio Dirani and guitarist Enrico Zapparoli. The compilation album Le Origini appeared in 2009. In 2011, Modà released the album Viva i Romantici featuring the singles "Timida," "Sono Già Solo," and "La Notte."
