Roberto Murolo, an illustrious figure in the realm of Neapolitan song, was a maestro who passionately dedicated his life to preserving and celebrating the rich musical tapestry of Naples, Italy. Born on January 19, 1912, in Naples, Murolo's career spanned several decades, during which he became known as one of the preeminent interpreters of traditional Neapolitan music. His father, Ernesto Murolo, was a renowned poet and songwriter, clearly passing on a deep cultural legacy to his son.

Murolo's work was characterized by his velvety baritone voice and masterful guitar playing, which he used to bring the heart and soul of Naples to a wider audience. Throughout his career, Murolo meticulously compiled and recorded hundreds of Neapolitan songs, culminating in a multi-volume collection that stands as a definitive anthology of the genre. His ability to evoke the spirit, love, and sorrow of his hometown through music earned him the unwavering admiration of audiences around the world. His albums—such as "Reginella," "Anema," "La Chitarra Di Roberto Murolo," and the "Gran concerto napoletano" series—are testaments to his profound influence and the timeless nature of the music he championed. Murolo's passing on March 13, 2003, marked the end of an era, but his legacy endures, encapsulating the essence of Naples in every note he played and sang.
