专辑简介Patrizio (born Patrizio Franco Buanne, 20 September 1978) is an Italian singer baritone, songwriter, producer. He was previously signed with Globe Records, a division of Universal Music, but has recently signed a global record deal with Warner Music Entertainment.

Born in Naples but raised in Vienna, Patrizio Buanne spent much of his youth listening to Italian-American singers like Mario Lanza, Dean Martin, Al Martino, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett in his father´s pizzeria, and soon fell in love with the music of the 1950s and ´60s. He won local singing competitions at an early age and, at 17, performed for Pope John Paul II. In 1999 Buanne returned to Italy, where he enrolled at a university in Rome and worked as a television entertainer. Four years later he met producer Christian Seitz, and the two of them went to the Abbey Road studios in London to record Buanne´s debut album, L´Italiano, mainly a cover album of the songs he grew up with, which came out in the U.K. in February 2005. In March 2006, The Italian, a slightly abbreviated version of its British counterpart, was issued in the U.S., followed by a worldwide release of the singer´s sophomore record, Forever Begins Tonight, in the fall of that same year.
