FROM ITALY WITH LOVE
Italian Radio Society is a band and cultural project, based in London, that celebrates Italian music heritage with pure energy and embodies Italian dolce vita charm. Founded in 2023 by singer and show producer Elisa Cipro, together with Italian musicians living in London, Italian Radio Society has built a strong following in a short period of time.
The band has performed at major food and music festivals across the UK and has sold out multiple shows at prestigious venues in London such as PizzaExpress Live. They are the favorite of members clubs and luxury weddings, performing across Europe and the Middle East and reaching international audiences with an energetic and visually distinctive live show.
In 2025, Italian Radio Society performed their debut original song “In questa notte magica” on RAI 2 and RAI Italia, and placed second at NYCanta, a competition streamed from New York and featured on a compilation released by Warner Music Italy.
The project has received recognition and appreciation from prominent figures in the Italian music scene, including Roby Facchinetti (Pooh), Gaetano Curreri (Stadio), Iva Zanicchi, and Italian journalist Marino Bartoletti, who commented:
“They are a highly skilled and ambitious band with a fantastic singer.”

“Moving to a new country alone came with its own challenges, and there were times I felt discouraged. Instead of giving up, I decided to form my own band. Finding Italian musicians who shared my love for vintage Italian music, like Renato Carosone’s songs, was hard. It took me two years of searching London’s music scene to find them but then all of the sudden all the pieces came together.” Read More
—Elisa Cipro
In the damp and dreary streets of London, where the warmth of Italy felt like a distant dream, a group of Italian friends were longing for a piece of home away from home.
Sharing a passion for pizza, tarantella and festa, they began an unexpected journey that would take them onto the stages of London and beyond, carrying their traditions wherever they played, bringing the sunshine of Italy to the world.
