Recording success

The real turning point came in 2019 with Arsenico, certified platinum with over 70,000 copies sold, which opened the doors to a period of great artistic prolificacy. In the same year he released the album Ex Voto, which was followed by Meridionale in 2021.
The third album, Romantico, is from 2023. The latest single released is Sentimentale, in collaboration with Levante, from 2025.

The flirtation with Laura Torrisi

According to the weekly Whoa strong passion, although short-lived, would have erupted between the singer and the actress. The magazine had revealed how Torrisi, after the ad experience Celebrity Friendshad developed an increasingly intense interest in Aiello’s music, which was then transformed into something more personal.
Panic attacks
Aiello shared on social media a touching encounter he had at the airport with a fan, who confessed to him how his music had helped her overcome a panic crisis. The singer, struck by her words, opened his heart to her in turn, admitting that he had faced the same problem in the past and that he felt it coming back in that period. A moment of mutual vulnerability that Aiello wanted to share with his followers, underlining how certain apparently casual encounters actually hide something profound and necessary. For him it was confirmation that, beyond music, what truly unites people is the ability to recognize themselves in the same pain and fragility.
