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 have always tried to perform the music I love, and I think I am lucky because my preferences are often the ones of the public.

I loved playing football. In this particular match the ball happened to hit my right eye, the only one which I could see light and colour with.

My style in Italian is very old-style.

I don't like being called 'macho.' Macho basically means stupid and a real Italian man is not macho, he's smart. That's smart in both senses: elegant and clever.

The themes I sing about tend to be centered on love, but in the most total, general way 360 degrees of love.

Even in the most beautiful music, there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence. Silence is more important than ever, as life today is full of noise. We speak a lot about environmental pollution but not enough about noise pollution.
