I’ve learned to be joyful and grateful when I am singing.” “We need to stop right where we are, look around and enjoy life, and appreciate it. “So often in life we wait for joy or remember it,” Giuseppe said. Giuseppe laughed as he talked about his brother’s role in pushing him forward to grow and develop, with a quantum leap of growth and development clearly coming from Brett Manning.Ĭoming to Tennessee to meet Brett was an easy move for Giuseppe because of a philosophy he believes in that encourages appreciation for living life to the fullest and seizing every opportunity for happiness. Davide said I could, and I did it because he told everybody I could. You know that break in my range? I wanted to sing higher. “Davide, who is a musical genius, has taught me so much. “We’re in a band called TREMO,” Giuseppe said. Giuseppe also has a huge ally and advocate in his brother, Davide. Damiano and Raffaella Lopizzo, Giuseppe’s parents, saw the journey of their gifted son as an adventure and an investment. Giuseppe is extremely grateful for having a family that never discouraged him and helped him pursue his dream. “I also performed as part of the festival of San Remo, which is like the Italian Grammy awards.” “I even met the actor, Dustin Hoffman,” he said.

My grandfather was so proud he carried with him a photo of me with her.” In 1994 there was a great Italian soprano, Katia Ricciarelli, touring and looking for a little child with a high voice. “I was 12 years old and in middle school,” he recalls. His grandfather passed away when Giuseppe was 15, but by that time, Giuseppe had already had his first paying job as a singer. Giuseppe beamed with the joy of a young boy as he thought about his grandfather seeing him fly to America. It sounds funny but it’s like I can smell and sense his presence when I sing.” I’m told I even play in the same posture or position as he did. Even today I feel his spirit when I take hold of the guitar. “Through the guitar I learned to sing and play with the same passion as he had. “He gave me a guitar that was bigger than me,” Giuseppe said.
