Honoured to attend the Gala Lirico tonight at the invitation of the Embassy of Italy in Baku, celebrating a historic milestone – the 80th Anniversary of the Italian Republic (Festa della Repubblica).

A magnificent evening of culture, music, and diplomacy, beautifully hosted by His Excellency Ambassador Mr. Luca Di Gianfrancesco and Mrs. Wiame Bounejar, alongside Deputy Head of Mission Riccardo Cursi and the dedicated team at @italyinbaku.

As an Italian living in Azerbaijan, it is incredibly inspiring to witness the deep, enduring bonds of friendship and cultural exchange between our two nations. Music truly remains the ultimate universal language.
