As an American I think we would refer to this as 'sing-song voice'.

Ha, that reminds me of my Swedish teacher, who loved to remark 'Swedish is a sing-song language!' whenever someone spoke too stodgily.

Of course, she wasn't wrong!

it makes me think a bit of Arabic and Indian singing performance styles (as an American who doesn't really know anything about either the Italian language or Arabic or Indian music.)
