Losing my sight had nothing to do with my focus on music. My passion for music was already there, so it would be a mistake to give too much significance to my blindness.

I respect very much my public and also the music I perform.

I am a product of my native land, Tuscany, Italy.

Success is related to faith. Faith comes first.

In singing, you cannot 'cheat' if you want to give emotions to those who are listening. You must have something to tell.

For me, the most enjoyable type of singing is opera. It allows you to move, to wear a costume ... to do something with your body. When singing in concert you have to stand up in front of the audience, next to the conductor, which is less natural.

I never think about gifts. It's enough to have my family present.
