Gianni Nanni – Italian Singer & Guitarist based in Delft (ZH) for Live Music in the Netherlands & Belgium
I’m Gianni Nanni, born and raised in Florence. I sing and play everything live, with my voice and a Spanish guitar, for weddings, birthdays, corporate events, private parties and farewell gatherings across the Netherlands and Belgium. If needed I amplify my voice and guitar with professional microphones. No karaoke, no playback and no pre-recorded music.
I live in Delft and travel throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. Travel costs depend on the distance and are always stated in the quote.

Gianni Nanni sings the worldwide hit “Volare”, live with voice and guitar.
How it works
- Send your request by email with your phone number and these details: date, location, type of event, start and end time, number of guests, indoors or outdoors, and whether a sound system is already available. The full list of questions and all conditions are on my Performances page (in Dutch).
- I send you my quote by email. I never give prices by phone.
- Would you like to accept the quote and discuss the performance? Then we arrange a phone call. We go through the conditions and during the call I let you hear my voice live, accompanied by guitar, almost like an audition. That way you hear for yourself how I sound and decide whether to book me. If you book me, I ask for a deposit, so that your date is secured in my diary.
A quick question? You can also call me or send a message on WhatsApp, also from Belgium or abroad. No obligation. I prefer to handle requests and agreements by email and phone, because that is where I keep my records.
A surprise performance? It stays a surprise: the guest of honour doesn’t need to know anything in advance. On request I walk in singing my own song La tua Mama, as I did as an extra surprise at Frank Dane’s birthday on Radio 538.

A medley of Italian classics: the right atmosphere for your event.
My repertoire
My repertoire is made up mainly of Italian classics, including Eros Ramazzotti, Zucchero, Andrea Bocelli, Lucio Dalla, Francesco De Gregori and Paolo Conte, and the great Neapolitan classics such as Torna a Surriento and O sole mio. Many Italian melodies are also familiar to Dutch audiences through Dutch versions sung by Paul de Leeuw, André Hazes or Marco Borsato. I also sing English-language hits by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin (Mambo Italiano, That’s Amore) and The Beatles, Bésame mucho in Spanish and Schubert’s Ave Maria in Latin.
You can choose up to five songs in advance from my full playlist; I put together the rest of the performance according to the occasion and the audience.
For which type of event?
- Weddings and marriage proposals: ceremony, reception and party.
- Corporate events and Christmas dinners: staff parties, receptions and business dinners.
- Garden parties, dinners and private parties, birthdays and anniversaries.
- Also for a farewell moment: Con te partirò, Ave Maria or My Way, with great respect.

About me
I was born in Florence and live in Delft, in South Holland. With voice and guitar, acoustic or lightly amplified, I create an intimate atmosphere that touches people. Besides music I am a teacher of Italian: I have been giving lessons for more than 30 years and I also taught at the Volksuniversiteit in Delft and Rotterdam. My Florentine is clear, correct Italian, the kind you hear on radio and television.
My goal is to bring a piece of Italy to the Netherlands and Belgium, and to let people from different cultures experience the atmosphere and emotions of the Bel Paese. Read my story → (in Dutch)
