Luigi Tenco (21 March 1938 – 27 January 1967) was a popular Italian singer-songwriter.

He died on the night between 26 and 27 January, 1967, after performance at Sanremo Music Festival. His death was ruled to be the result of suicide, but even decades later, a plethora of evidence in favour of murder was the reason to reopen the investigation twice.
