Carlo Buti

He was known as "the Golden Voice of Italy", and was possibly the first superstar of Italian music in the twentieth century.

As a boy, he mastered the Tuscan folk song technique known as stornello.

His unique warm and melodic "tenorino" style of high quasi-falsetto phrasing sung in the "mezza voce" made him an international success.

He died at his home in Montelupo Fiorentino, in Tuscany, Italy, at the age of 61.
