Nomadi (or I Nomadi, meaning 'The Nomads') is an Italian band formed in 1963 and still active.
In 1961 Beppe Carletti and Leonardo Manfredini formed the group I Monelli (The Urchins). In 1962 Carletti met Franco Midilli, guitarist of the group Novellara, who joined them . In 1963 Franco Midilli introduced Augusto Daolio to Beppe Carletti and he too joined. That year the bands name was changed to I Nomadi.
The original 1963 formation of six was founded in Reggio Emilia: Augusto Daolio (vocals), Beppe Carletti (keyboards), Franco Midili (guitar), Leonardo Manfredini (drums), Gualtiero Gelmini (sax) and Antonio Campari (bass). In the same year I Nomadi were signed by Frankfurt Bar in Riccione.
Franco Midilli had to leave the group that summer for compulsory military service. The line-up changed frequently; in 1964 Madfredini left after the death of his parents; so did Campari and Gelmini, who were replaced by Gabriele Bila Copellini on drums and Gianni Coron on bass.
In 1965 they released their first 7
