Watch: Young Maltese Singer Impresses In Prestigious Zecchino D’Oro Final
Beppe Caruana, just 10 years old, shone on the grand stage of Zecchino d’Oro as he performed “Toc Toc” with Italian singer Sofia Bianco.
He captured the hearts of viewers across Malta and Gozo after sharing a touching message in Maltese during the final.
Beppe had recently travelled to Bologna to prepare for the final show after being officially named a finalist in the 68th edition of Zecchino d’Oro, one of the world’s longest-running and most renowned children’s music festivals.

Selected from thousands of applicants in Italy and abroad through a rigorous international application process coordinated by Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) in partnership with Arts Council Malta, Beppe is the only Maltese finalist this year, continuing Malta’s longstanding legacy in the competition.
Malta’s connection to Zecchino d’Oro dates back to 1962, when Raymond Debono won with the song “La Giacca Rotta.” Beppe now joins the long line of Maltese children who have succeeded on this celebrated stage. PBS and Arts Council Malta played a key role in enabling him to apply, reflecting the country’s commitment to supporting local artistic talent internationally.
