Pop Opera / Crossover Artist — Italian & Italian-American Repertoire
A Lifelong Passion for Singing
My passion for singing began when I was a child in Puglia, Italy. I competed in many different music festivals and loved being on stage from an early age. As I grew older, I stepped away from singing during my teenage years, my time in the military, and my college studies. After moving to the United States, I rediscovered that lifelong passion and began singing again. What started as a childhood dream became a new chapter in my musical journey, connecting my Italian roots with the audiences I perform for today.

From Puglia to the Stage
Vittorio Di Carlo is an Italian-born pop opera/crossover tenor from Puglia, Italy. Now based in the U.S., he brings audiences on a passionate journey through the most beloved Italian and Italian-American classics. His performances blend elegance, warmth, and energy — from timeless arias and Neapolitan songs to movie themes like Cinema Paradiso and international hits by Bocelli, Sinatra, and Dean Martin.
A finalist of the NYCanta Italian Song Festival (broadcast on Rai Italia), Vittorio has performed across the country for renowned Italian-American organizations such as UNICO, Sons of Italy, and the Columbus Citizens Foundation, as well as major festivals including San Gennaro in Seattle, the Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy, New York City, alongside soprano Bianca Orsi, Il Giglio Festival in Brooklyn, New York, and the Columbus Day Parade in New York City. He has also performed at La Bella Notte Italiana in Port Jervis, New York, an event featuring Sal Valentinetti (“Sal the Voice”) and Vanessa Racci (“The Italian Jazz Singer”).
His single La Notte (2024), written by international tenor Federico Paciotti, showcases his soulful blend of pop and classical artistry.
