In addition, an on-demand livestream of his 2020 Christmas specialoriginally filmed live from Parma, Italy, will be available once again tocaught up with both Andrea and Matteo to talk about the holiday season, Andrea’s legendary career and what it’s like for Matteo to join the ranks of the family business.
Matteo, you’re also performing with your father during the tour. How did that come about and what can audiences expect from you?Yes, I am, and I am always very excited by the opportunity of sharing the stage with my father. But it’s his show. I will have the pleasure of standing next to him to sing a duet that marked my debut, “Fall on Me,” a song — whose lyrics I myself collaborated on — [that] talks about a son who is entering into adulthood, and a parent who supports and reassures him.
I’ve seen you live and I couldn’t help but get emotional. Do you yourself ever get emotional while performing?: I don’t believe to have any merit in that respect. Music is a privileged language used to reach the deepest recesses of our souls. I believe that good music is intimately tied to beauty, and true beauty is intimately tied to good. And good, we all know, is something that always moves us.
you launched after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Can you talk to me about why that’s important for you?: At the risk of sounding naive, I firmly believe in the fact that beauty will save the world. There is an ethical commitment that each of us should make, a commitment that translates into everyday reality.
