July 11, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

Gino Paoli, a beloved Italian singer-songwriter often hailed as a revolutionary poet who profoundly transformed Italian music, has passed away at the age of 91. He died in the early hours of Monday morning in his serene home, perched on the hills between Quinto and Nervi, offering a magnificent panorama of the Genoa sea. Paoli leaves behind an incredible catalogue of timeless songs that have touched generations.

In accordance with his personal wishes, there will be no public wake, and his funeral services will be held privately. Although born in Monfalcone, a decision made by his mother to give birth in the family residence, Paoli was a Ligurian through and through, recognized as one of the most significant figures and exponents of the influential Genoese School of songwriters.
