talian crooner Patrizio Buanne, dubbed ‘the new voice of romance’ arrives in Australia this week, ready to romance his way into Australia’s heart.
Born in Naples and raised in Vienna the 27 year old who speaks 6 different languages, considers himself the ambassador of good manners, good music and all things romantic.
He greets women with a kiss on the hand, and knows the way to woo is through music ‘I want to give people Italian romance. Growing up outside Italy, I feel even more Italian than a native, because I was raised with this cliché of pasta eating, hand gesturing, Alfa Romeo driving… My father was the ambassador of Italian kitchen and pizza and I am the ambassador of Italian romance and dolce vita,’ says Patrizio.

Fifteen years on, it is Australia's dollar that is so strong that the Australian tourism industry is now worried that Japanese people will not travel here any more.
Many Japanese are cutting costs where they can, apparently booking fewer holidays to Australia.
