Stefano Ruffini (14 June 1963 in Rome – 7 December 2006 in Naples) was an Italian singer and voice actor.
He studied singing with Edda Dell'Orso and acting with Silvia Luzi.
During his military service in the air force, he organized music evenings for the non-commissioned officers' club. One of these shows was filmed by Rai 3 and was seen by Grazia Di Michele, who noticed Ruffini's vocal talents.
Di Michele wrote a number of songs for Ruffini, including "Canto bolero" and "Si chiama Hélène", which he performed at the Sanremo Music Festival 1988 and 1989, respectively.[1]
