Chiusano was born in
Fondi, in the
province of Latina, a region in
Lazio. Uncle-in-law of the anchorman Ettore Andenna. He was a self-taught
guitarist. Later on, he learned to play the drums. He left his native village before his twentieth birthday and moved to
Rome. After work, he performed in local clubs as a singer and guitarist. He successfully auditioned for
EIAR, the Italian national radio broadcasting company, and worked as a singer for radio orchestras. In 1941, he replaced
Enrico Gentile in the line-up of
Quartetto Ritmo, a vocal quartet soon to be renamed
Quartetto Cetra. Felice Chiusano was known as the "bald head" of Quartetto Cetra. He was famous for his sense of humour and jokes. During the 1970s and 1980s, as Quartetto Cetra gradually scaled back their public appearances, he also worked in the organization of shows and cultural events. Chiusano died in
Milan in 1990. ==References==
