Premier Giorgia Meloni paid homage to
singer songwriter Toto Cutugno, who died aged 80 Tuesday, by
posting on social media: "Goodbye to Toto Cutugno, a true
Italian", echoing the chorus of his biggest hit, L'Italiano.
Tributes flowed in Cutugno, the symbol of Italy around the
world with his 1983 hit L'Italiano, after he died after a long
illness.
Fellow singer songwriter Angelo Branduardi called him "an artist
who really represented Italy while singer Pupo said "farewell
dear and beloved friend" and TV host Fabio Fazio said "his
passing leaves a great void".
