For a boy of his age to sing with such depth is unbelievable. He was blessed with an angelic voice, and his delivery is flawless. We are blessed to be able to listen to such sheer beauty. Somehow, it would not have such impact if it was sung in any other language but Italian.

I have seen Sole Mio by Alex Prior, thank you, but in the voice of Robertino Loretti is the best.

He is just a miracle, out of any competition and comparison. Italy must be so proud having such a great voice, but he is not really well-known there, che vergogna!
