Italian guitarist and singer (born Rome, June 1, 1942), began career in late 50s with White Booster band and Mario Perrone Orchestra; after with I Campanino. Replaced Franco Mussida in Quelli (shortly became PFM), where develops his way of playing the guitar. With Tony Cicco and Gabriele Lorenzi formed Formula 3 debuting on Lucio Battisti's new label Numero Uno performing Battisti's song "Questo Folle Sentimento", which comes in 5th place in the ranking of best-selling singles.

Founder member of Formula Tre and "Il Volo" and a well respected session guitarist, Alberto Radius also had a good solo career following his band's split.

1977 it's the year of the LP he's most known for, "Cartastraccia",which contains also the charts-hitting song "Nel ghetto". It's a very courageous album for that period, irreverent, full of criticism and shouts against the Italian society of those times.
