AIELLO LIVE CONCERT Event Finale! Italian Soul & R&B

The event 'Italia, amore mio!' organized by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan marks the 10th anniversary since its first edition in the year of the 160th anniversary of Japan-Italy friendship. This event, which conveys Italian passion, brought together artists representing the Italian music scene.

First visit to Japan! Dream-like sounds and indie folk imbued with the Italian soul: MARIA ANTONIETTA E COLOMBRE

On the first night, Niccolò Fabi, one of modern Italy's leading singer-songwriters, took the stage. Since winning the Critics' Prize at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1997, he has released numerous acclaimed albums and received the Targa Tenco award three times. He showcased his rich career leading up to his latest 2025 album 'Libertà negli Occhi'.

They have just made their debut in the main category at the 2026 Sanremo Music Festival with 'La felicità e basta', generating great buzz.
