Now I'm More Sure And I Feel

Probably The First Time I Left Italy Was To Travel By Train To Lourdes. I Went With My Mother And My Grandmother - Who Was A Very Religious Person - So It Was A Pilgrimage Of Sorts. I Remember It As A Very Intense, But Beautiful Experience.

I Also Always Carry My Flute. It's Very Important For Me To Try To Relax When I'm Travelling, And Playing My Flute Helps Me To Unwind.

When A Little More Than A Teenager, I Was A Piano-bar Pianist In The Land Where I Was Born And Raised, Tuscany.

In Preparing My Thesis, I Have Had The Pleasure Of Collecting Testimonies From Colleagues Such As Placido Domingo But Also From Singing Teachers And Musicologists. The Entire Course Of Study Has Confirmed What I Already Thought, That The Value And Meaning Of Opera Singing, At The Beginning Of The Third Millennium, Remain Intact.

I Want To Have Time For Myself, My Family And My Friends. It's Important Because In Order To Sing Well, You Must Have Inspiration, And Inspiration Comes From Life, From Living.
