History

ICTUS in Bologna, Italy

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

ICTUS in Long Beach, California

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