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

While they are kids, my children must do as I say.

Fatherhood is a very natural thing; it's not something that shakes up my life but rather it enriches it.

Apart from a period of crisis during my adolescence, when my voice was changing and I could not tame it - it was like a kicking foal that does not listen to reason - I have always been told I have a pleasant and recognizable voice.

I did a pop album, 'Sogno,' in 1999. I think it's important to record another pop album because many people love pop music. By this kind of repertoire, some people can later discover classical music.

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.

Some years ago I gave a concert in the mountains with snow all around, and that was much colder.
