Incredibly sad news from the Al Volo team:
“We’ve suffered a massive loss over the weekend. One of Al Volo‘s founding members– the youngest one– Matteo Catalani tragically passed away on Sunday. He was 29. We are all shocked and devastated by the news. Matteo was such a special soul and meant so much to so many people.
