The Legittima offesa officially formed in May 1998 by Gigi, with the aim of giving voice to street children Bolognesi, especially to young skinheads patriotic Bolognesi. Finally, also in Bologna, the city 'historically leftist and anti-patriotic, born as a Nationalist skinhead rock band. The Legittima offesa their journey by participating in the "First Meeting or Bologna!-Rac "organized by Plastic Gangsters in July 98 (the" Plastic Gangsters "is an anonymous Bolognese label that has always accompanied the band produced their first demo tape live on just the '98 Live in Bologna in followed also produced their first album "Giorno per giorno"). The Legittima offesa begin soon playing all over Italy, have the good fortune of playing with world-renowned groups and after only one year of their birth record their first album " Giorno per giorno", too much improvisation and little experience in recording the band's impact on the quality of sound, but the CD has an excellent feedback with the most fans of the genre! Since their formation the Legittima offesa have infinite problems (the only one that has always accompanied the band Gigi), but despite this they manage to create more songs. And 'so that in 2001 they recorded a song ("Bianco proletariato") for a German label, the "Wehrwolf records", that part of the compilation "This Time The World". In 2002, then recorded another 3 tracks, this time for "Barracuda records" that makes them come out on vinyl 7 "entitled" Fratelli d 'Italia.

One is "Prezent" (a label Romanian) with the song "Professore" and the other is "De Kastelein Pub-The Skinhead" (a Belgian label) with the song "Legitimate Offense." Meanwhile the band is a new change of line-up but this does not affect it at all the live gigs that they build up, starting almost immediately to work on new pieces. After a concert in Germany the year before, in 2006 released the compilation "Support The Nation - Live In Franken" where the band appears live with 3 pieces.In November of 2006 for the Barracuda Records released their third CD called "White Kriminals" which gets a huge international success and sends the Legittima offesa in various tourne 'Europe, in Spain, Fillandia, Denmark, Germany, France, Switzerland, Hungary , Croatia, Belgium, etc. .. for technical reasons the long-awaited jump live in Poland, czech Republic, U.S. and South America .... In 2008 the band was contacted by RAI, which invites him to participate in an episode of the television drama of "Ispettore Coliandro", playing the role of themselves in a live, in principle, rejects Gigi 'cause the script of bet he does not like, but then after several agreements with producers and directors who agree to modify the script in several places, following the suggestions of Gigi, the band decides to accept, in the episode can then be entered two of their songs as a soundtrack.It 'so' that the episode is broadcast premiere on RAI 2, proving a huge hit (followed by much debate by the usual communist organizations that did not like), because the episode was by far the most 'view of all bets the same drama and excess' by far the medium of plays Rai2. Also in 2008, to celebrate their ten-year record two more songs, but for a series of unfortunate events can not publish them. Meanwhile, continue to play around Europe between 2009 and 2011 are playing in England, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukraine, Slovenia and Lituania.
