Mistakes of Youth

(need not haunt maturity forever)

Amore Marco was born from the ashes of a deadly juxtaposition of the two terms “Amore” and “Marco” in Val d’Ossola, Italy. After the flames, the sun reflects on the floor, wondering what remains after an arson attack. Whether violent and electrifying or slow and emotional. Loud and aggressive production sound if noise restrictions allow, acoustic and soft if Amore Marco wants to make music late at night at home.

“Mistakes of Youth / need not haunt maturity forever” is the first album being published by Amore Marco This record was produced on the heels of a dramatic family loss, discovered ten years after then incident – the record opens violently, describing, as the various tracks unfold, the envoirment that make up the site of the accident. The sound plays around the contrast between the external place and the internal place of the arson: the fire that echoes in the reverberation of the empty wide valley/the blazes stiring in the rooms of a small house. The atmosphere is at times compressed and intimate, at others harmonious and airy. When the front door closes, the final song, “The Girl Everyone Loves,” completes the journey, closing the album with a sense of relief and a story that, though tearful, closes on a greater and lighter harmony.

The album has been released under the Berlin-Based label Unguarded on 30th January 2026.

The Album has been presented at Silent Green (Berlin), opening for Smerz.
