In 1975 Golzi joined forces with Genoan band JET and singer Antonella Ruggiero, resulting in a new band: Matia Bazar. During his forty-year-long journey with the band, Golzi not only acted as a drummer, but also wrote the lyrics for many of the band's hits, notably "Vacanze romane", which earned them the Critics Award at the Sanremo Music Festival 1983.
