The Italian singer, Gino Paoli, died on March 24, 2026, at 14:18, as reported by the Gazeta Express. He was 91 years old and a celebrated figure in italian light music. Paoli was also a key founder of the influential “Genoese School” movement.
This musical current fostered the careers of many significant artists, including Fabrizio De André, Luigi Tenco, Bruno Lauzi, and Umberto Bindi. Born in 1934 in Monfalcone, Paoli’s connection to Genoa was particularly strong. Throughout his career, he left a lasting impact on the history of italian song through his memorable melodies.
His compositions are still widely recognized and loved today. Among his most famous works are “Il cielo in una stanza,” famously performed by Mina, “Sapore di sale,” and “Senza fine,” a song closely linked to its association with Ornella Vanoni, with whom he enjoyed a long and fruitful artistic partnership. The passing of this iconic singer marks a significant loss for the music world.
