Pietro Bagnadentro (born 7 January 2002), known professionally as Trigno, is an Italian singer-songwriter.
Early life and education Born and raised in Asti, the son of lawyer Paolo Bagnadentro, he began to develop an interest in music during his childhood, influenced by his mother, a pianist. During his adolescence, after abandoning a promising football career due to injury, he decided to move to Milan to pursue a career in music.
He began his education studying guitar and exploring various musical genres, such as jazz, R&B, and French and American rap, later graduating in economics and business management from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. He chose the stage name Trigno, which comes from the affectionate nickname "Pietrigno," given to him by his father during soccer games.
Career 2018–2024: debuts and Diciannove In 2018, after participating in several urban music contests, he began collaborating with producer Carl Laurent, who brought him into a recording studio and had him record his first songs, including his first official single, "Prima o poi". This was followed in 2019 by the singles "Sogno", "Occhi" and "Calmo". In 2020, after signing a record deal with Francesco Facchinetti's Hokuto Empire label, he released the singles "Lento" and "Conto su di te".
On 19 February 2021, he released the single "Attorno", which preceded the release of his first EP Diciannove, containing seven tracks and released the following month. The single "Mille voci" was released on 17 June, 2022, followed by the single "Ma tu" on 2 August. The single "Non mi mancherai" was released on 5 May 2023, followed by the single "Casino" on 19 January 2024, both featuring Joe Viegas.
2024–present: participation in Amici 24 and A un passo da me In September 2024, he auditioned for the twenty-fourth edition of the Canale 5 music talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi, advancing to the initial stage. In March 2025, he gained access to the evening phase of the program, joining the team led by professors Anna Pettinelli and Deborah Lettieri. The following May, he reached the final, where he placed second, triumphing in the singing category and winning the radio prize.
During the program he released several unreleased songs, including "A un passo da me", "Maledetta Milano", "100 sigarette" and "D'amore non si muore", all four of which were subsequently included in his first EP, A un passo da me, released on 23 May 2025 by the Warner Music Italy label.
