Popes and Presidents

Toni Etneo says: “Andrea Bocelli, who last september 60 was, despite his humble attitude, an international superstar in the classical music. He has performed for popes, presidents and kings, stood in the largest of concert halls and opera houses in the world and sold more than 80 million albums. He was a guest at major international events, including the Olympic Games and the football world cup, and sang to packed stadiums. But in the meantime, he is just a very friendly and hospitable man with a great sense of humor.”
