CROSSING CULTURES
Paolo Nutini is a 19-year-old singer. His name sounds Italian but he’s a Scottish boy. Paolo’s greatgrandfather came from Italy to Scotland in 1900. He opened a fish-and-chip shop there. Paolo’s parents still run the shop today and Paolo grew up there.
When Paolo became 19, he was offered a record deal and had to move to London. When he arrived in London to make his first CD, he didn’t know anyone there and he felt a bit sorry for himself. He didn’t have much money either and he found life in the capital very expensive. “London can be so lonely,” he says, “especially for a kid from a small Scottish place. It eats you up. That’s basically what my song “These Streets” is about — missing home. But I love London now though.” Paolo’s first CD “These Streets” has been a great success. Now he is one of Britain’s brightest stars. But where does he really feel at home — in Scotland, in London or in Italy, the country of his forefathers?
Paolo says he has been coming to Italy every year since he was a baby. It always feels like coming home. Though Paolo’s great-grandparents immigrated to Scotland from Italy the family has never lost the connection. “Paolo is very Scottish,” says his father Alfredo “but he has Italian roots.” Which football team do you think Paolo supports — Scotland, England or Italy? Well, he supported Italy in the World Cup Final in 2006. But when Scotland play, that’s when he screams the loudest, they’re his number one.
