Francesca Romana Iorio studied with Elisabetta Majeron, Teresa Rocchino, Anna Vandi, Serenella Isidori & Gino Nappo. She has a versatile voice able to be dark, mellow and agile at same time. Her timbre and attention to dynamics and interpretation details, are amazing to sing Gluck, Verdi, Puccini as soon as chamber repertoire.
