Renowned soprano Andrea Bocelli romanced with her ex-wife, Enrica Cenzatti, and had two boys, Matteo and Amos. His son, Matteo, has always loved music, just like his father, while his brother, Amos, went on to become an engineer.
Each person possesses unique talents, passions, and inclinations. The tenor’s website states, “To a father, to a mother, the task of making fertile that soil on which the child can find his own path.” Andrea proudly displays his family and his most valuable possessions.
In a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, Bocelli spoke a lot about his relationship with Amos and Matteo, using honeyed words for both of them. “Seeing does not mean looking. Seeing is synonymous with understanding. We all have antennas that allow us to do so. For example, I know very well what my children are like. They grew up in my hands. I am very physical, I need contact; and if they didn’t want it, I imposed it. The lack of sight does not only accentuate the other senses; it gives you a sixth. You immediately understand who is in front of you,” he said.
Wise and loving words that perfectly describe the relationship with his children. As we were saying, Matteo, born in 1997, has cultivated the same passion as his father since he was a child, later undertaking studies at the Conservatory. His first international contract at the age of twenty-one, then the creation with his father of the Disney soundtrack of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, with the song Fall On Me, which immediately had a great response.
Matteo Bocelli also tried his hand at acting, in the film Tremila anni di attesa, also creating the soundtrack at the same time. In 2022 his first album will arrive, obviously in collaboration with his beloved father Andrea. On TV, we remember him as a guest as a ‘dancer for a night’ on the famous Rai Saturday night TV show, Ballando con le stelle.
