Massimiliano Torrigino (born February 15, 1972), known professionally as Max Turigìn, is a Genoese folk-country-pop writer, singer, and composer who plays the guitar and also the musical instrument that has distinguished him since he was a child: the harmonica. He was born in Busalla near Genoa. He recorded his first song two days after the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa, driven by a rage that gradually turned into a need to tell the story of his homeland. This led to the album Terra mia thanks to the technical collaboration of Alessandro Badano, former musician and double bass player with the band Enragedh. The album is a collection of 10 songs that tell true stories about Genoa and its surroundings, touching on various topics: fishermen, Genoese emigrants in search of fortune, soccer champions (Roberto Pruzzo, called Livio by his friends in his hometown, Crocefieschi, where Turigìn himself lives and works)), social misfits and the love for his city and for the women he met along the way, going as far as the story of a man who escaped the extermination of Auschwitz and ending with the love between two wolves.
