Today we present a male cover of the song that won the Sanremo Music Festival, the annual celebration of Italian song. We're talking about Controvento, the song that brought Arisa on the top step of the podium. Voice, arrangement and vocals are by Flavio Gismondi, a young Italian singer and actor who recently starred as Moritz in the Italian production of SPRING AWAKENING. Enjoy this beautiful acoustic version featuring some inspired gospel nuances!
