Tuscany, Italy (1994 – present)

Andrea Bocelli was born in 1958, in Lajatico, rural Tuscany, Italy.

A disciple of Luciano Pavarotti and Zucchero Fornaciari, the blind, Tuscany-born, vocalist has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary opera. His participation in Pavarotti’s 1992 hit, Miserere, and Fornaciari’s 1993 world tour brought him international attention. Opera, however, represents only one side of his musical persona. Bocelli has been equally successful as a pop ballad singer, having recorded duets with Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman and Eros Ramazzotti. Al Jarreau, who sang with Bocelli during The Night of Proms in November 1995, praised Bocelli when he said, “I have had the honour to sing with the most beautiful voice in the world.” Bocelli grew up on farm in Lajatico, a rural village in Tuscany. Beginning piano lessons at the age of six, he later added flute and saxophone. Born with poor eyesight, he became totally blind at the age of twelve following a soccer accident.

Despite his obvious musical talents, Bocelli didn’t consider a career in music until he had studied law at the University of Pisa and had earned a Doctor Of Law degree. Inspired to pursue music, he studied with famed tenor Franco Gorelli, supporting himself by performing in piano bars.

Repair is the largest and greatest tenor I ever heard, His voice is amazing, exciting and their songs brilliant! for me, "Con Te Partiro" is one of his best songs, plus others that moves me is "Canto Della Terra, Duet With Sarah Brightman "which is simply magnificent!

Insieme alla Pausini,Ligabue,Vasco Rossi e Tiziano Ferro e' l'artista di musica leggera piu' sopravvaluto della storia della musica italiana.Farebbe bene a tornare a Sanremo.

It makes me sick that people compare this joke to the greats like Caruso and Pavarotti. He may be very popular singing pop songs, but keep this sham away from classical music. Few things agitate me more.
