THE EARLY YEARS
Born on September 22nd, 1958, Andrea grew up on the family
farm in Lajatico, a close knit farming community set among
the vineyards and olive groves of rural Tuscany. The farm
includes a small vineyard, from which Andrea's father,
Sandro, still produces a small quantity of "Chianti
Bocelli." Displaying rare musical gifts from an early age,
Andrea's parents nurtured and encouraged his talents with
formal piano lessons from the age of six, later learning to
play both flute and saxophone. Andrea's love of opera was
also apparent from an early age, and he feels he was
destined to sing. "I was one of those children who would
always be asked to sing for my relatives. I don't think one
really decides to be a singer - other people decide it for
you by the More...
Review about Andrea Bocelli Happiness/peace | Reviewer: Jennie Reed
------ About artist/band Andrea Bocelli
My mother, Alliso Mrabito, is a huge Bocelli fan. Unfortunately she has Congestive heart failure and COPD. This requires her to be on oxygen 24/7. My father passed away several years ago and she was devistated. Since the first time she hear Mr. Bocelli's voice. I see that old spark in her eyes. She own EVERY CD. She has even remarked if she was physically able to fly, she would attend his concerts. I want to personally thank him for bringing mom "back" to me. May God bless you, Mr. Bocelli.
Fall in love all over again | Reviewer: Anne
------ About the song Somos Novios performed by Andrea Bocelli
Listening to Andrea Bocelli's rendition of this song makes me want to kiss the one I love all over. His interpretation takes me to a world where nothing else matters. Just me and the most important man in my life where love is all that we see and feel.
Time To Say Goodbye | Reviewer: tony
------ About the song Time To Say Goodbye performed by Andrea Bocelli
This song never ceases to bring a tear to my eye,
and the wonderous thing about it is that not only
am not I a classical music expert but I do not know exactly why. I do enjoy all kinds of music,
especially the higher quality but this stands out like the naked flame in the middle of the
perfect storm. If someone or something could be
responsible for ending all the violence, abuse and injustices to our world single handedly it is unquestionably this song.
Italian vs. English | Reviewer: Luis Eugenio (from Brazil)
------ About the song Con Te Partiro performed by Andrea Bocelli
Words sounds very different in Italian and English. That's why they translated as "time to say goodbye" and it really can be confusing because in italian all the music is about two lovers that will do everything to be together. It is NOT a literal translation. "Con te partiro; paesi che non ho mai; veduto e vissuto con te; adesso si li vivro" would be literally "I'll leave with you; countries that I have not seen or experienced with you; now I shaw experience them". Hope it helps!
I play that DVD over and over. I love to hear him sing and would like the opportunity to go to a live concert if he ever comes close to the "farmland" (I live in a small town in Iowa)Wish I had known about his concert in Las Vegas. I most certainly would have tried to get tickets. I felt bad about his divorce. It's always sad for the children. I hope they are all happy now that he has found love again with Veronica Berti. I wish them much happiness. What a wonderful life lies ahead for them both. She is a beautiful woman. Did they meet while making the Amore DVD? Does anyone know why he and his first wife divorced. I know that it isn't any of my business so just forget that question. How can I get an autographed picture of Andrea suitable for framing? Would love to have one. At concerts does he ever have his picture taken with a fan?

Mom's Last Outing | Reviewer: L. A. Silver
------ About artist/band Andrea Bocelli
When our mother was in a nursing home and cancer was invading her body unbeknownst to her family, my sister bought tickets to take her to an Andrea Bocelli concert. At first my mother was reluctant to go, but my sister insisted. Mom was in a wheelchair and blinded by macular degeneration; so, she and my sister sat in one of the front rows at the concert. That night turned out to be one of the highlights of my mother's life---she couldn't exclaim enough over how wonderful Andrea Bocelli's voice was!
A few month's later, the call came from the nursing home that it was time to come say "goodbye" to our mother. We went and sat for hours by her side. Suddenly, my sister got the "Romanza" CD and put it in Mom's player. We played "Time to Say Goodbye" a few times, and then Mom passed.
At her funeral, the priest allowed us to bring a Bose CD player into the choir loft and play Mom's favorite song for her one last time. Believe me, there was not a dry eye in the church.
Thank you, Andrea Bocelli, for the joy and peace you gave to my mother.

------ About the song Vivo Per Lei performed by Andrea Bocelli
I first viewed the U-tube version ths past week. As the ice-skaters skated, and I listened to the music and Andrea's voice, I was lifted to a high place of pure wonder, amazement and beauty!
I doubt seriously that Andrea reads these posts himself, (how would he have the time?) but if you do, Andrea, magnifico. Julie

Fantastically Perfect! | Reviewer: Willy
------ About the song Somos Novios performed by Andrea Bocelli
This song is one of the best I've ever heard. From the lyrics to the way Bocelli interprets it, it simply blows me away. I love the Live version recorded in Las Vegas. Especially the part when he sang "Para darnos el más dulce de los besos" (We give each other the sweetest of kisses) no exaggeration but with impact Andrea Bocelli sang it perfectly! BRAVO!

Heart-rending and evocative | Reviewer: Michelina Ferraro
------ About the song E Chiove performed by Andrea Bocelli
Heart-rending lyrics, the emotional response enhanced by the Neapolitan language, this song evokes the very reason for the mass emigration from Italy post war. Bocelli's rendition perfect.
Lirica straziante, la risposta emotiva migliorata dalla lingua Napoletana questa canzone ci da una spiegzione plausibile dell'emigrazione di massa dal Italia dopo guerra. L'interpretazione di Bocelli proprio perfetta.
My wife's most romantic moment | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Time To Say Goodbye performed by Andrea Bocelli
Shortly after the Bellagio opened, I was holding my wife as we listened to Andrea Bocelli singing this song. She remarked that it was the most romantic moment of her life.
I hope to change that.
I've been secretly taking voice lessons for two years now and next month, on our 20th anniversary, I'm going to sing it to her.

yes | Reviewer: mike
------ About the song Con Te Partiro performed by Andrea Bocelli
Con te partiro translates exactly as its sang. The word "CON" means with, as it is in spanish or old latin. After the term "TE" is included in this compound it becomes "With You" as "CON TE". Partirar is a verb again translated the same in spanish to mean "TO PART WITH" or simply "TO PART" To add the word "with" in this case becomes redundant and confusing.
Ultimately as its sang...the translation shouldnt be too confusing...."WITH YOU I GO"..As for an exact meaning to the lyrics and purpose of those words I cant say....
I do know the other song that includes English. "Its hard to say goodbye"
I like the idea of considering that they are saying goodbye along with eachother. May it mean a parting of the couple....or the departing of the couple to their old lives.
Who knows.....its a beautiful song!!

Un canto para mi amore | Reviewer: Ren
------ About the song Somos Novios performed by Andrea Bocelli
I met a beautiful woman from Venezuela two plus years ago. We touched each other's hearts and minds and souls. We talked about our loves and our lives and the things that make us the people that we are. We think about each other every day although she lives far away. We chat on-line. I write poems and songs for her, to her, my homage to the most beautiful woman in the world. One night, last August, as I sat at my computer and we chatted, she linked this song to me. As we listened, she being 1500 miles away she typed the words in Spanish and for me, a silly old white boy, in English. With these words and that music I was touched beyond physical, beyond spiritual, beyond emotional. Somos Novios.
