Ladri di Carrozzelle ("Wheelchair Thieves" as the name is a play on the film Bicycle Thieves) is an Italian Pop rock group that formed due to a summer event in 1989 for the Union for the Fight Against Muscular Dystrophy. That said not all the members have Muscular dystrophy or use wheelchairs. In 2004 the group had 11 members in total with 8 in wheelchairs. They have put out several albums and performed at World Youth Day. The music they play varies from heavy metal to funk to pop.
