Andrea Prodan is the youngest of four children of an Italian art expert who worked in the Cinecittà studios in Rome in the 1950s , and a Scottish mother. His older brother is the rock musician Luca Prodan, known in Argentina .
Prodan spent his childhood in England , where he attended school in Canterbury . In 1981 Prodan had to come back to Italy because he had to do his military service due to his Italian citizenship.
