Maltese girl Federica Falzon and her Italian singing partner Vincenzo Carni placed second among past winners of the Rai television programme Ti Lascio Una Canzone, after winning this year’s edition.

Tenor Joseph Calleja gave her a surprise in a recorded video message that was shown during the programme: he invited her to sing with him during his concert in Malta on July 18.

This has always been the 11-year-old’s great wish. Calleja praised her wonderful talent and golden voice.
