thumb|Scialpi Giovanni Scialpi (born 14 May 1962), known simply as Scialpi or Shalpy (), is an Italian pop singer, active from the early 1980s.

== Background == Born in Parma, Scialpi had an immediate success in the Summer of 1983 with the song "Rocking Rolling". Considered a sex symbol, in the 1980s he amassed several domestic hits, alternating romantic ballads (such as "Cigarettes and Coffee") and upbeat songs marked by futuristic lyrics (such as the cited "Rocking Rolling" and "No East No West", with whom he entered the competition at the 1986 Sanremo Music Festival). In 1988 he won the Festivalbar with the song "Pregherei". Since the 1990s he gradually slowed down his production although he never dropped out from music altogether.
