Ladri di Carrozzelle

Ladri di Carrozzelle ("Wheelchair Thieves" as the name is a play on the film Bicycle Thieves) is an Italian Pop rock group that formed due to a summer event in 1989 for the Union for the Fight Against Muscular Dystrophy. [ [http://www.initaly.com/travel/life/carrozel.htm In Italy] ] That said not all the members have Muscular dystrophy or use wheelchairs. In 2004 the group had 11 members in total with 8 in wheelchairs. They have put out several albums and performed at World Youth Day. The music they play varies from heavy metal to funk to pop.
