Originally called La Nuova Frontiera, the band initially performed in clubs and beach resorts. In 1974, Elio Palumbo, a song writer, helped them sign a contract with the Italian label Yep Record. At that point, the band had changed their name to I Santo California.

They released their debut single, “Tornerò“, at the end of 1974. It was a major hit in Italy and Switzerland. It also peaked at number five in Germany and Austria. The band’s debut album charted within the top twenty in Italy.

The band continued the international success and in 1977, I Santo California took part to the Sanremo Music Festival. In 1978, they scored their last top ten hit in Italy with “Manuela, amore!“. After that, their popularity decreased.

Following a break of fourteen years, in 1994 the band released a new album.
