Life

The son of a baker sang in the local bakery shop as a toddler, where he quickly became known locally. When he was six, he starred alongside Gino Cervi and Fernandel in Don Camillo's Return , the second part of the Don Camillo film series.

In 1960, the Danish television director Volmer Sørensen , who was on vacation with his wife in Italy , heard him in a tourist café where Robertino often appeared and invited him to Copenhagen . Accompanied by his father, Robertino went there immediately and had his first appearance on Danish television a little later. This was an immediate success, but Robertino still had to wear shorts here at the age of thirteen to emphasize his childlike nature.

Soon he was known throughout Europe and sang, accompanied by the Otto Francker Orchestra , arias and well-known pieces such as Santa Lucia , O sole mio , Ave Maria, La Paloma and Brahms' lullaby .
