Bruno Romani, born on 9 January 1960, was an Italian saxophonist, flautist and composer from Udine, whose early studies in flute and saxophone led him to join a local jazz collective at 15. In 1983, he founded the post‑punk band Detonazione, releasing Riflessi conseguenti (1984) and Ultimi pezzi (1989) before shifting to jazz in 1989. Romani’s solo discography included albums such as Gang of One (1996) and Nightride of an Italian Saxophone Player (2015). He collaborated with Alice, Gavin Harrison and the IS Ensemble, and toured Europe with the Monteggiori Ensemble. He died on March 14, 2025 in Lucca.
