Jannik Sinner has been living in Monte Carlo since 2020, and his choice has sparked a heated debate in Italy. The South Tyrolean tennis player, world No. 1, explained that he finds ideal conditions in the Principality to train in peace, without pressure and with state-of-the-art facilities. But it is mainly the tax issue that is causing discussion: in fact, no income tax is paid in Monaco. In fact, Sinner is in good company. There are numerous Italian VIPs who have chosen Monte Carlo for their residence. Out of about 35,000 inhabitants of the Principality, more than 8,000 are Italians. Prominent among the Italian entrepreneurs who have chosen Monte Carlo is Flavio Briatore, a resident of the Principality for about 15 years. Also with him were Maria Franca Fissolo, heir to the Ferrero empire, and Edoardo Garrone, chairman of the ERG energy group. Also nourished was the representation from the entertainment world. Ezio Greggio has lived permanently in Monaco for nearly 30 years. Residents include showgirl Elisabetta Gregoraci and violinist Salvatore Accardo. Among singers, names such as Andrea Bocelli, Riccardo Cocciante and Umberto Tozzi stand out, joined by celebrated opera voices such as Katia Ricciarelli, soprano Cecilia Gasdia and baritone Renato Bruson. Actresses such as Ornella Muti and Maria Grazia Cucinotta will also be present. In addition to Jannik Sinner, Matteo Berrettini and Lorenzo Musetti also represent Italian tennis in the Principality: looking back at past stars, there is also Nicola Pietrangeli.
