  • Armando Gallo (born January 24, 1944) is an Italian journalist, photographer and book publisher. Gallo has been a photo journalist since 1967, when he interviewed The Beatles for the Italian magazine "Ciao Big". Inspired by this experience, he left his career as an architecture designer to become the London correspondent for the Italian music weekly "CIAO 2001", covering the events in the English pop/rock scene. In the early 1970s Gallo met Genesis before their first Italian tour and became a good friend of the band. His most high-profile work is a book about the band entitled Genesis: The Evolution of a Rock Band. Originally published in 1978, it chronicles the band's early days – a period of time never covered by any other biographical source up to that point, including the band members' full names. One notable fan of the book was Bob Marley, who was spotted reading it on the steps of his home in Kingston. The book was reprinted and expanded in 1980 with the new title I Know What I Like. By the early 1990s, after Genesis had reached their peak in popularity, the book was no longer available. As there was no sign it would ever be reprinted, zealous Genesis fans retyped out the text of the book as ASCII text in the early 1990s, but when plans for a reprint were announced, the files were taken down from the internet. In September 2014 the book was published on iTunes. Gallo also went on to put together several books on Genesis founding member Peter Gabriel. In 1982, with his brother Claudio, he formed Fratelli Gallo Editori in Italy, editing and publishing over 40 music books as well as the monthly magazine PIX Photorock. Gallo has also directed the U2 music video "Even Better than the Real Thing" from the Achtung Baby album. Gallo has worked as a photo-journalist in Hollywood for the last 35 years as correspondent of the Italian weekly magazine TV Sorrisi e Canzoni. He is a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and as such is a voting member for the Golden Globes. Gallo is currently collaborating with Italian magazines Grazia and Oggi (magazine).

  • Armando Gallo es un periodista y fotógrafo italiano. Su trabajo de mayor perfil fue un libro sobre la banda británica Genesis, titulado The evolution of a rock band (en castellano: ‘la evolución de una banda de rock’), publicado originalmente en 1978. El libro es una historia completa de los primeros años de la banda, la cual no había sido cubierta anteriormente por ningún otro biógrafo. La mayor parte de la información biográfica sobre Genesis fue escrita antes de que alcanzaran lo más alto del estrellato (durante los años ochenta). Dos años después, en 1980, el libro fue vuelto a imprimir con el nombre I know what I like (‘yo sé lo que me gusta’), cuyo título fue tomado de la canción de Genesis del mismo nombre. Esta edición incluía actualizaciones de los casi tres años que transcurrieron desde que se escribiera la primera versión y nunca se encontró ampliamente disponible. Luego de comienzos de 1990, con Genesis alcanzando la popularidad, el libro permaneció agotado, y no había indicios de que volviera a ser editado. Fanes del grupo tipearon el contenido del texto del libro en un archivo ASCII y estuvo disponible para ser descargado de Internet, pero cuando hubo planes para una nueva edición, estos archivos fueron dados de baja. Toda la información de los primeros años de Genesis que se encuentra en otras fuentes, normalmente es tomada de este libro (un ejemplo es el nombre completo de cada integrante). Los demás trabajos de Gallo son desconocidos fuera de Italia y probablemente nunca hubiera sido conocido a nivel mundial si no hubiera escrito este libro sobre Genesis. (es)
