The members of Vittorio and the Bridges

Vittorio Raimondi

Lead singer, songwriter, guitar

Vittorio is Italian. He moved to Minneapolis in 2008 with his young family after 2 years in Bergen (Norway) and 8 years in London (UK). Vittorio built his career in management consulting, founding his own company in 2011, and visited or traveled for work to over 60 countries. Then covid reset everything. An unexpected new space became available to listen and channel his emotions.
