I was born September 22, 1958, in Lajatico, in the Toscan countryside near
Volterra. The region's traditions, as well as my parents' influence have taught
me never to accept life's difficulties in a passive way, but rather to draw
strength from them.
As far as I can remember, no moments in my life have gone by without being filled
with passion for music. Italy's greatest tenors, such as Del Monaco, Gigli,
and especially Corelli, have always inspired great admiration and enthusiasm
in me since I was just a boy. In love with opera, the dream and ambition of
my whole life is to become a great tenor.
Despite the fact that I live in a fast-paced world, I live my life with a calm vision: I enjoy life's simple pleasures and face every challenge with passion. I try to always be optimistic by interpreting the real meaning of a quotation from the French novelist Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: "You see clearly only through your heart. The essential is invisible to your eyes."
