Encyclopedia
The Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano (English: Little Choir of Antoniano) is an Italian
children's choir of Bologna
created by Mariele Ventre
in 1963 in Antoniano Institute
to sing together with little kids at the Zecchino d'Oro
festival, opened only five years earlier. In 1995, after Ventre's death the choir was taken by Sabrina Simoni
and changed its name to Piccolo Coro "Mariele Ventre" dell' Antoniano.
In the very beginning there were only a couple of kids in the choir but it changed very fast and the choir became very big (up to about 80 children at some time).
The children sing lots of very different songs: children songs, classical songs, classic of pop songs, movie songs, etc.
