'O Sole Mio - Il Volo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw3c5d3aBSE

'O Sole Mio is one of the most famous songs of all time, but not yielded much to its two authors, Capurro and Di Capua, who died in poverty in ten years. The house Bideri music publishing continues to receive royalties of the piece, which - despite being passed over a century by the recording - not yet entered the public domain. In fact, in October 2002, a court in Turin has recognized Alfredo Mazzocchi, who died in 1972, as co-author of the melody, so the song will remain under copyright until 2042.
