Post-Punk/New Wave band from Monza (Lombardia, Italy). The first formation starts like Panico in 1982 (a sort of folk punk band), but shortly the project adopts the definitive name of Faded Image. First formation: Daniele Manini (guitar & voice), Roberto Barbini (keyboards, synths), Marco Manini (guitar), Davide Colzani (bass), Angelo Ros (drums). In the time other elements collaborate to the project: Enzo Onorato (bassist 1984-1986), Fabrizio Spadea (bassist of the last period), Angelo Cosenza and Luigi Colombo (drummers). In their short career they were in contact with the best italian underground wave circuit, famous the collaboration with the other new wave band from Monza, ‘The Underground Life’ of Giancarlo Onorato.

They will disband in the 1991 after 7 years of good discographic production and appreciated live activity.
