He gained the attention of his audience sine 1980 when he realised to have in creased in his spiritual life a great exspereance of evangelic life by St. Francisco's Scool. Giuseppe Cionfoli had the Academic title specialiging hi degree in Sagre Theologie. Through his songs, he has showed all his interior life. People is reaction was immediately surprising to this kind of preaching in fact he was encoureged to follow this exsperience by perfectioning the modalities of the executions to let us perceive better his message. In 1981 he realises his succes when, he was chusen by the organisers of a fomous TV transmission "Domenica in", directed by Pippo Baudo, to take part to a competition of new voices.
The song was ("Nella goccia entra il mare") that talks about the concrete exsperience that a christian makes of God.
