Diaframma is an italian band, one of the most famous new-wave, dark-wave, gothic rock Italian acts coming out of Florence during the early '80s along with Litfiba. Diaframma's sound originated from the meeting of punk, new wave and rock.

They reached the status of cult band because of the charismatic leader Federico Fiumani's statements and fierce lyrics. Notoriously, Federico Fiumani more than once turned down very lucrative major labels' deals in order to preserve his artistic independence and maintain Diaframma's integrity, making him a sort of a hero in the underground Italian scene.
