Milan, March 16, 2026 – Italian singer Achille Lauro visited young patients at the Niguarda Hospital in Milan today, meeting those still recovering from injuries sustained in the New Year’s Eve fire at Le Constellation in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. The visit came just before Lauro’s concert at the Forum of Assago.

A Connection Forged Through Music

The meeting was initiated following Lauro’s performance at the 2026 Sanremo Music Festival, where he dedicated his song “Perdutamente” to the victims of the tragedy. Patients at the Niguarda Hospital, watching the performance, expressed a desire to meet the artist. As reported by RaiNews and Il Giornale, Lauro spent nearly two hours with the patients, their families, and hospital staff.

A Moment of Joy and Connection

Guido Bertolaso, Welfare Councilor for the Lombardy Region, described Lauro as a “special boy” who brought a moment of joy to those who had suffered deeply. Bertolaso highlighted Lauro’s availability and sweetness during the visit, as noted in RaiNews. The singer met with patients currently undergoing treatment, those who had already been discharged, and the parents of some of the victims.

An Invitation to a Concert

Lauro extended an invitation to all those he met to attend one of his concerts on June 15th, covering all expenses, including providing a stage for the group, as reported by Vanity Fair. He also expressed his gratitude to the doctors and staff at the Niguarda Hospital, as well as Carlo Conti, for their assistance in organizing the meeting.

Remembering the Tragedy

The fire in Crans-Montana occurred on New Year’s Eve at the Le Constellation complex. The tragedy deeply impacted the Italian community, with six Italian citizens among the victims. Lauro’s tribute at the Sanremo Festival and subsequent visit to the hospital demonstrate a continued commitment to supporting those affected by the event.
