With this album, Vittorio Grigolo shows his credibility beyond the opera stage and reaches out to a much broader audience. Arrivederci is comprised of beloved arias and famous Italian songs popularized by the great tenors, all sung in Grigolo’s distinctive and passionate style.

With Arrivederci (which means “see you again” in Italian), Grigolo also pays homage to a golden age. Explaining his reasons for choosing this particular repertoire, he says, “Arrivederci looks back to the first album, but also revisits the values and colors of an Italian tradition and, along with it, a huge amount of beautiful music from the last century, the likes of which will never again be written.”
