Thanks to a Fulbright fellowship, Manno continued his studies at The Academy of Santa Cecilia in Rome with Maestro Gennaro D'Angelo and at Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, with Maestro Ettore Campogalliani. His private studies in Milan continued with Dr. Otto Mueller. After Dr. Mueller's death, Manno was accepted into the private singing school directed by Professor Dennis Hall in Bern, Switzerland. Professor Hall remained Manno's voice teacher and mentor until Hall's death in 2004.
