I am a very lazy man, so, for me, the dream is to be at home on the chair with my family.

It's true that I suffered a lot, especially when I was younger.

I don't like crying. I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.

I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.

Classical music and pop are two different universes, each with its own difficulties, peculiarities, depth and artistic dignity. In Italy, I think there is a fairly clear line of demarcation, but the history of music is full of fusion. Popular and classical music have always found points of contact, of crossing, exchange, both drawing mutual profit.

I have big, big stage fright.

'Passione' is a selection of the music moments that have accompanied my youth; a collection of cherished memories, of moments, of fleeting emotions, of sleepless nights.
