Nino D'Angelo

On 27 June 2026, Nino D’Angelo plays Anfiteatro di Pompei in Pompei, Italy. Born in Naples in 1957, he first made his name in the city’s working-class neighborhoods with cassettes of songs in Neapolitan, before reaching a national audience in the early 1980s through a run of music films where he sang and acted. Those years anchored him in the neomelodico wave, built on direct melodies, simple language and stories tied to Naples’ everyday life. From the 1990s onward, he shifted toward a songwriter’s register, letting Neapolitan and Italian live side by side while his lyrics opened to social change, family ties and the city’s memory. Regularly present at Sanremo, he has also pursued steady work as an actor for cinema and theatre.

In Pompei, he brings that journey on stage: canzone napoletana meeting Italian pop and ballad writing, with narrative at the center and a strong sense of place. The set traces a line from the neighborhood tales of his early years to more reflective pieces from recent albums, moving between dialect and Italian and keeping focus on songwriting and storytelling. A concert rooted in Naples that spans decades of music without losing sight of what grounds his voice and his pen.
