💖 Help us bring Corelli’s art to new generations of opera-lovers by supporting the Franco Corelli Info Center: Franco Corelli (April 8, 1921, Ancona — October 29, 2003, Milan) He lives forever in our hearts ❤️ Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our shared homage and sent in kind and moving messages, paying tribute to Franco Corelli and evoking him as ever-present. Definitely the biggest challenge to edit a video swimming in tears, but it was really heartwarming to read all these beautiful thoughts, coming from all over the world... 🇬🇧 English and 🇮🇹 Italian subtitles included, but you can also have them translated into other languages by clicking on the ⚙️ Gear icon -- Subtitles -- Auto-Translate. If you have difficulty following the subtitles, click on the “Show Transcript“ button in the video description. I apologize for any mistakes or missed messages, it was not intentional (apart from the unserious or formally incorrect ones). Feel free to add more messages to Franco in the comment section.
