The Italian Tenors

The Italian Tenors formed in 2009 in Marsala, Sicily, when Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone, and Ignazio Boschetto came together. They built their sound around three distinct vocal ranges, Ginoble's clear tenor, Barone's resonant baritone, and Boschetto's countertenor falsetto, which allowed them to arrange pop and classical material in close harmony.

Their song 'Bello e Impossibile' shows how they approach melody, with the three voices weaving around a simple, memorable tune. Early on, some opera traditionalists questioned their crossover style, but they kept working in that space between classical technique and accessible pop arrangements.

In 2015, they faced lip-syncing allegations during a performance at the Sanremo Music Festival. They defended their live vocal ability, and the incident didn't slow their recording pace. They've put out a steady stream of albums since forming, mostly built around those three-part harmonies and romantic Italian melodies.
