About
Italian DJ, producer and vinyl store owner. 1 of the main historical quality DJs of Italy, who played for the 1st time new genres such as drum & bass, dubstep and breakbeat.
Many will remember him behind the counter of Vinyl Refresh, his record shop, in Pigneto, Rome, Italy, that arose from the experience of urban pressure.
The club Brancaleone in Rome, Italy, where the Agatha evenings were held for many years, was 1 of the 1st social centres in Italy that looked like a club on the sanctified (declared holy) days, once a week. For the pioneers in this beautiful country, there is not enough glory about this unfortunately, and are sure, that few of the new electro or techno-head generation, will remember that Agatha (a night at the club Brancaleone) in 2004 and 2005, was voted as 1 of the best 5 clubs in the world, because of the sounds and music played there. Little remains of that history.
Andrea Lai, his friend and supporter at the Agatha evenings, is sad to say that Riccardo died in September 2014.
‘There [at Brancaleone] no one ever told me do this or do that, there is a need for this or there is a need for that, they told me do what you want, but do it with your heart. This is what Riccardo Petitti told me, and this is what I did!’ (Donato Dozzy) (Gerundino, 2020).
