…The echoes of the Adriatic, the songs of the street, the lullabies of his mother, the proud encouragement of his father – all these elements combined to create a musical prodigy, a boy who heard the world as a symphony and was already beginning to conduct its most beautiful movements. His early compositions were not just exercises; they were declarations of intent, the first tentative notes of a maestro who would soon set the opera world ablaze. The boy from Lugo, with the Adriatic wind in his hair, was ready to sing his song to the world.
