Andrea Bocelli recently celebrated the first 30 years of his career as a tenor and singer in general. Having debuted in the early years, he quickly achieved a growing success that has made him extremely popular and probably the most famous face of Italian music even abroad. He is also a highly engaged personality in social causes. Andrea Bocelli is one of the main guests of Fabio Fazio for the episode of “Che Tempo che Fa” on Sunday, January 21, 2024.
Andrea Bocelli, now 65 years old, was born in La Sterza, a village in Lajatico, in the province of Pisa, on September 22, 1958.
His parents had peasant origins and were involved in the marketing of agricultural equipment. Born visually impaired due to glaucoma, Andrea completely lost his sight at the age of 12, as he himself recounted, due to a blow from a football during a game. At the boarding school, he learned Braille, and after completing high school, he enrolled and obtained a law degree, even though singing was his greatest passion, and music in general. He became a student of tenor Franco Corelli, and it was thanks to him that he started performing at various Pianobars.
His career began in 1992, quite casually, as he was tasked with developing a song for Pavarotti during an audition. It was the talent of the young Andrea that impressed Pavarotti, leading him to sing the song himself. Shortly after, he signed his first record deal with Sugar. In 1994, he participated and won the Sanremo Festival in the category of “New Proposals,” gradually becoming more famous and appreciated both as a tenor and a pop singer. One of his most iconic and still famous songs is “Con te partirò,” which received double platinum certification at the time. He quickly became famous overseas as well and is among the few Italian personalities to have their own star on the Walk of Fame.
In 2011, he founded the Andrea Bocelli Foundation, a non-profit organization designed to combat poverty and inequality through intervention programs.
He has been married twice. The first marriage was with Enrica Cenzarotti, with whom he has two sons, Amos and Matteo, born in 1995 and 1997, respectively. Later, he separated from Enrica and entered into a relationship with Veronica Berti, who became the mother of his third child, Virginia, in 2012. The couple got married in 2014.
Andrea Bocelli’s talent and success have made him an international icon in the music industry. His powerful and emotional performances have captivated audiences around the world. Despite facing challenges with his visual impairment, he has overcome adversity and achieved great accomplishments in his career. In addition to his musical achievements, Bocelli is also known for his philanthropic efforts. Through his foundation, he aims to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
