Gianni Pedretti gave life to Colloquio at the beginning of the nineties, with the intention to explore music territories where electronic/new wave sounds melt with the Italian songwriting tradition.

The first stage of Colloquio’s career is distinguished by several selfproduced tapes, composed and recorded solely by Pedretti.
Thanks to the positive feedbacks by fans and the music press, Colloquio immediately gained the status of «cult-act».

At the end of the nineties Colloquio released the first full-length CD "...e lo spettacolo continua", with the contribution of Stefano Castrucci (guitars) and Matteo Mattioli (bass).
With this line-up Colloquio played live in several venues, always showing a great live potential.

At the beginning of the new millennium, Colloquio established a fruitful collaboration with the Italian label Eibon Records.
In 2001 "Va Tutto Bene" was released, strengthening the stature of «borderline band».

In 2005 Sergio Calzoni, from Act Noir, joined Colloquio as sound-designer and producer, fueling with new ideas the music research of the band.
The partnership Calzoni/Pedretti released the acclaimed "Si Muove e Ride", a real turning point with the previous works, where the electronic elements moved towards glitch, ambient and industrial-noise territories.

At the fall of 2012, Colloquio started working on the new record "L’entrata - L’uscita", resuming and expanding the research path of the previous work.
