September is already here, and the Competition is just around the corner!

Before we fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the Renata Tebaldi International Voice Competition, we would like to share a special moment from this summer.

Unfortunately, bad weather on July 15 prevented us from enjoying the concert in the garden of the Embassy of Italy as originally planned, but the evening was nevertheless filled with emotion.

We would like to thank Romina Tomasoni and Aigerim Altynbek for delighting us with “Stride la vampa” and a traditional Kazakh song despite the circumstances. On this occasion, they were both honoured with the title of Ambassadors of the Renata Tebaldi Foundation.

Another great honour was the recognition bestowed by the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, and presented by Ambassador Fabrizio Colaceci: the title of “Cavaliere della Stella d’Italia”, awarded to our Coordinator and Artistic Director, Barbara Andreini.

An honour that makes us all immensely proud, and one that is richly deserved after years of intense and unwavering dedication.

Thank you, Barbara!
