I Gens were a group from Messina (Sicily) of the last years of the sixties. They are well remembered for their hit "In fondo al viale" (at the end of the alley), their song for the summer event "Cantagiro" in 1969 (inspired to the alley "Viale San Martino" of the sicilian town). The B-side of this 45 rpm single was "Laura (dei giorni andati)" (something like "remembering Laura"). During the seventies a participation to the Sanremo Festival (the main musical event in Italy, then and now) with "Lo schiaffo" del 1971), the first place at the Cantagiro in 1972 with the song "Per chi" (cover of "Without you" by Harry Nilsson), and a LP inspired to the progressive rock ("Gens" in 1974).
