How about making Jack Savoretti the sound of Milan’s upcoming 2015 Expo? His ‘Dreamers’ track would be quite appropriate for dreamy Italy, don’t you think?

Savoretti’s dad is from Genova, though Savoretti himself was brought up in London before moving to Lugano which is in the Italian speaking area of Switzerland and is a stone’s throw from Italy anyway.

More of Savoretti music can be found on his YouTube channel: Jack Savoretti on YouTube

At one point, Savoretti was on the point of giving up his musical endeavours. Luckily for our ears, he didn’t.
