Foligno / Umbria, Italy

The English band from London tracked the drums for their new single at Studio 86, and shot part of the video here.
Introducing Studio 86. An exceptional new recording studio in Foligno, Umbria, founded by international drummer and audio engineer Francesco Lucidi. A fully equipped, zen-inspired space now hosting recordings, workshops, and masterclasses. Studio 86 combines world-class sound with a deeply soulful environment.
“Every corner of Studio 86 was designed to feel balanced, technically precise, yet emotionally warm. I wanted to create a space that feels as peaceful as it is professional, a true reflection of music as both art and energy.”
Francesco Lucidi, Founder of Studio 86
After years of performing and recording internationally, including a long career in London’s vibrant music scene, Francesco returned to his native Italy to create a space that blends precision, creativity, and peace. The result is Studio 86: a zen-inspired environment, built entirely with love and artistic intent.
Located in the charming, medieval town of Foligno, Studio 86 is exceptional both aesthetically and aurally. Built for sound and serenity, it exudes a creative energy from the moment you step inside.
Lucidi’s impressive career spans work with leading artists across Europe, including as drummer for RKOMI, Italy’s number one pop act. His international experience and deep musical sensibility inform every aspect of Studio 86, from its world-class acoustics to its soulful atmosphere.
The studio features multiple acoustically treated rooms, designed for recording, mixing, and mastering across all genres. In addition to commercial recording sessions, Studio 86 hosts masterclasses and workshops, creating a dynamic hub for learning, collaboration, and community.
Combining state-of-the-art equipment with organic design elements, Studio 86 invites artists to immerse themselves in sound while surrounded by the serene landscapes and beauty of Umbria.
With its zen-like atmosphere, high-end gear, and Francesco’s unique blend of craftsmanship and musicianship, Studio 86 is quickly becoming a destination for both Italian and international artists seeking authenticity and inspiration.

Studio 86 sits in Foligno, Umbria, the green lung of Italy. People here have called this town the center of the world for centuries. Medieval hill towns, olive groves and vineyards start where the town ends, and four of the best known are within half an hour’s drive. Trevi, Bevagna and Spoleto, home of the Festival dei Due Mondi, are just as close.
Between sessions we take visiting artists out to taste the wine and olive oil made here, eat food grown a few miles from the studio, and see the places around it.
