Don Marino Barreto Jr. (8 December 1925 – 10 December 1971) was an Italian pop singer and musician.
Career
Born Marino Barreto y Rubio in Matanzas, Barreto moved to Italy in 1949, beginning his career as a contrabassist. His main success was the song "Arrivederci", which peaked the Italian hit parade in 1959 and won a Gold Record.[1] Other Top 5 hits include the songs "Telefonami", "Visino d'angelo", "È vero", "Non lasciarmi".[1] His success declined in the early 1960s, nonetheless Barreto continued his activity performing live until his death for cirrhosis on 8 December 1971 in Milan, two days after his 46th birthday.[2]
He is sometimes confused with his half-brother, Don Marino Barreto (1907–1995), who had a singing career in Britain.[3]
