History

ICTUS in Bologna, Italy

Andrea Centazzo and his wife at the time, Carla Lugli, founded ICTUS in Bologna, Italy, in 1976.[4] Centazzo is a drummer, percussionist, electronicist, and composer. ICTUS folded in 1984 due to financial duress and the divorce of Centazzo and Lugli.[5]

ICTUS in Long Beach, California

Centazzo revived ICTUS in 2006 in Long Beach, California,[6] initially, to raise funds for Bosnian refugees.[2] On January 1, 2006, ICTUS released ICTUS Records' 30th Anniversary Collection, a 12-volume CD retrospective of its work.[7] In 2010, ICTUS released its Ictus 35th Anniversary Collection on 1 CD.[8]
