In Addition to Becoming a Father, Andrea Bocelli Describes His Boys, Amos and Matteo, as Having Been a Part of His Life Since Before They Were Even Born. He Says, With Great Emotion in His Voice, “Even Though They Grew up in My Hands, I Knew Them Inside and Out.” From the Gentle Touch of Their Little Fingers to the Men They Have Become, Every Moment Has Left an Impression on His Soul; Their Relationship Is Not Only Based on Blood, but Also on Understanding—Silent Exchanges, a Shared Song, and an Unbreakable Thread That Has Endured. Bocelli Finds Love and the Greatest Sense of Purpose in Their Music, Laughter, and the Quiet Moments of Parenthood.
“Everyone has their own inclinations” is a wise and loving way for Andrea Bocelli to describe his relationship with his children, Matteo and Amos.
Andrea Bocelli, a well-known tenor, had two boys, Matteo and Amos, from her romance with her ex-wife, Enrica Cenzatti. His brother Amos went on to become an engineer, while his son Matteo has always had a strong love for music, exactly like his father.
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.
