Robertino Loretti was born to a large family with eight other children. His family was poor, and when he was 10 his father fell sick and Robertino helped the family deliver bakery products to restaurants. He enjoyed singing folk songs on his way and was noticed. After a request to perform at a wedding in a restaurant, Robertino was sought after by other restaurants for the same services.

Robertino sang in Cafe Grand Italia where Neapolitan actor Toto and Danish TV producer Volmer Sorensen noticed him. Their interest in him led to performances on Danish TV shows. Robertino recorded an album while in Copenhagen, and later published several albums and appeared in movies. For about 10 years he was engaged in film production and commerce. Since 1982 he has been performing all over the world and recording CDs.
