Vivarelli was born in Siena. After his father's death in 1942 at the hands of Yugoslav Partisans, Vivarelli joined the Republic of Salò as a young volunteer of the Decima Flottiglia MAS and for a short time was a member of the Italian Social Movement.[1] Later, from 1949 through the 1990s, he was a member of the Italian Communist Party, and was also the only Italian to receive the Communist Party of Cuba's membership card from Fidel Castro.[1] Mainly active in genre films, he is regarded as a key figure in the musicarello genre.[2][3] He was also active as a lyricist of pop songs, including several hits popularized by Adriano Celentano.[1][3]
