Sorrento

It's hard to believe, but there is a musical genre in the world that is more popular than the ubiquitous pop. This is a Neapolitan song. By singing 'O Sole Mio' in unison, Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo surpassed Michael Jackson in fame. Having included “Santa Lucia” in the repertoire, the first stadium was assembled. By performing “Come Back to Sorrento,” they turned the Three Tenors brand into something like Coca-Cola. Literally everyone - Mario del Monaco, Mario Lanza, Muslim Magomayev - sang in Neapolitan. Even Elvis Presley, the cowboy of pop music, - and he, in his own way, of course, covered Neapolitan hits, turning Torna a Surriento into Surrender.
