David Copperfield

Adele and Marcello, born at the same moment on April 16, 1927, were destined to be intertwined. Their friend Loris witnessed their childhood romance, playing bride-and-groom in an abandoned chapel. Separated by WWII, their lives ran parallel, occasionally crossing paths briefly.

We are in the mid-60s, when a very young Mariele Ventre gave birth to the very first formation of the Piccolo Coro, originally composed of only eight children. In a few years the Piccolo Coro becomes a real school of choral singing. In its 56 years of history, there have been hundreds of small voices that have brought the music of Zecchino d’Oro and its repertoire around Italy and the world.
