From a young age, his voice was so angelic that he seduced and attracted hundreds, millions of fans and admirers, regardless of country of residence, social status and age. By what forces was given to the world this happy gift, which makes one bow, awakens and reverent admiration, but also passion and desires far from angelic?
The divine sound of the young Italian boy’s magical voice, stored on audio media, has fascinated listeners all over the world for decades. If he wanted to, and if the forces that bestowed this voice were on the side of evil, then he could well have led millions anywhere, like the young rat-rats from the fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm. But, probably, the true divine principle was indeed present in this gift, since its possessor never used it for evil either in childhood or in adulthood.
Childhood
Roberto Loretti was born immediately after the war - in 19947, the fifth child in a very poor family. The family could not afford another baby, because the father and mother sometimes literally did not know how to feed the four babies. Therefore, despite religiosity, Roberto's mother wanted to have an abortion. It was then that the first miracle happened: in the hospital she became unwell and either she actually saw a wonderful baby who gave her candy and asked her not to do anything wrong, or was it a vision. Fortunately for her entire family and for the world, she changed her mind. And after she gave birth to three more children. The second miracle happened when the baby first sang - sang like an angel sent from heaven.
Eight years later, little Roberto was already singing in the choir of the Roman Opera House. Thirteen years later, after another performance in the Roman cafe "Grand-Italy" on Ephedra Square, with the famous Neapolitan song "O Sole Mio", his fate was overwhelmed by world fame. It was in this cafe that the fateful meeting of Roberto and Danish television producer Sayer Volmer-Sørensen took place, which turned Roberto's young talent into a world-wide star - Roberto Loretti.
Youth
The life of young Robertino turned into a continuous tour. The cities of Europe and the USA flashed one after another, sold-out halls were replaced by a recording studio, and again in a circle. Producer Cyr Volmer-Sørensen was well aware that the unique boyish “white voice” would not last forever.
The laws of nature are inexorable and mutation is only a matter of time. Therefore, he squeezed everything possible out of his chance. It was because of such a sober approach to the talent that signed the contract with him that the inhabitants of the former USSR never heard a live performance of a small Italian miracle. Despite the tremendous popularity in the Soviet Union, and the desire of the boy himself, who received bags of letters from fans from different parts of a huge country, the producer considered that the trip would be unprofitable, since the country was huge, but the inhabitants in it were too poor to be able to pay the established regular European fee to the invited artist.
So in the USSR there appeared a legend, composed in the gray walls of the corresponding department, that Robertino Loretti lost his unique voice. Thanks to this legend, Robertino practically died in the USSR. That is why, during the time of perestroika, for many of his fans, the information that the singer was alive, healthy, well-fed, and still successfully performed, was almost a shock.
