Chapter 1: What has Andrea Bocelli learned in his 30 years of music?
What a wonderful pleasure to meet you here for your wonderful movie. 30 years it has been since San Remo. While you definitely sing it has only been three years. Your voice is still the same. Amazing. You have seen the business transforming the music business. You've been in it now for three decades. Yet you always stayed relevant. What have you done differently? There's so many...
Chapter 2: How has the music industry transformed over the years?
younger artists they cannot fill concert hordes but you have always managed to stay relevant what have you done because the world changed very quickly because the technology changed no from the from the recordings we passed to the cd and then the the liquid music but There is something that doesn't change and it's the performance, life, the relationship with the audience remain.
If you are able to remain yourself, if you are able to be very authentic, sincere, you know, I think that this is the most important element.
Chapter 3: What is the significance of authenticity in music?
You definitely have managed to do that and now you're making this movie that is a very, very interesting film because you're combining film, music, some of the best artists in the world collaborating with you. In general though, the film industry has suffered in America. Why do you think though your film will be a success?
Chapter 4: Why is Andrea Bocelli's film unique?
I think that in this movie there are many interesting elements, apart many from the biggest artists of the world. But there is also an atmosphere. People can see a very beautiful place in Tuscany. and in a certain sense to leave a little bit the atmosphere that we lived on the place. So I think it's interesting in this sense.
Chapter 5: How do streaming services like Spotify affect musicians?
We live also now in a world with Spotify and YouTube, which has changed the music industry. It is for free. People can listen to music for free. Have you viewed that as something that is negative or has it positively influenced your business?
Definitely it's positive, because music is for everybody. And if it can be free, I think it's positive, of course.
Because you're reaching so many people.
The most important thing would be that people can distinguish, recognize the good music from the bad music. And like Aristotle, one of the biggest philosophers, said, you can recognize the plant from the fruits that it does. Sorry for my English, but...
Quality always prevails.

Chapter 6: What challenges do children of famous musicians face?
Yeah. When the music is good, it's very positive that it can be free for everybody.
Chapter 7: What advice does Matteo Bocelli give about following your passion?
Fantastic. What are your plans for 2025? Last question.
Very easy. To sing, to sing, to sing.
So we'll see a lot of you. Thank you so much. Is that in general, when children follow their parents' footsteps, the parents, very famous, usually then the kids have a hard time finding their own identity and having the same success. But you are managing that. What are you doing to make your own mark and how you found your own identity with such a famous father?
Chapter 8: What are Matteo Bocelli's plans for the future?
Definitely it is true that I'm very lucky, but at the same time the secret is in following what you love, where the heart brings you. I have to be honest, I also understand that sometimes in life we cannot always do what we love. We also have to learn to love what we're doing. Because that's the only way to get what you want, to get what you love. And again, I'm living a dream.
And I'm following what I always loved doing since I was a little kid. So again, now I'm finally on my own, doing my shows. I have my first album out. And I simply wish to myself that this is going to keep going for the rest of my life.
In those years that you have now been heavily involved in the music industry, what are the biggest changes that you have noticed, good and bad?
Since I'm in the music industry? Yeah. Well, I definitely, you know, when you, even though it was... It was kind of a success, not for me, the song that I've done with my father, because at the end it's a song that speaks about a true relationship between a father and a son. And music wants this, music wants authenticity, because otherwise people are going to feel that you're not true, no?
And definitely when you get attention, you get also... You know, so many people around you that are not there truly because of who you are. But simply because it's convenient, because it's... But you just have to be... You know, my strength, I guess, is having good people around me. People that, whenever I come back from a tour, they make me feel Matteo. They make me feel truly who I am.
I'm sure your father has given you plenty of advice over the years. Is he also taking advice from you?
I don't know if it's checking advices from me, even though maybe sometimes it would be good. But you know, this happens all the time. Sometimes there are rebellions between father and sons, between parents and children. It's part of life. We were born in a different generation, but probably it's also the beauty of it. Otherwise it would be too boring.
Absolutely. So what are your future goals to make impact in the music industry? Have you thought about that? Like what would you like to achieve or would you like to maybe change or influence?
You know, if you would have asked me this five years ago, I would have said You know, my goal, the thing that I want to achieve is to be able to make my own music and to be able to bring it on stage. Today, I'm living the dream because I've been able to make my first album, Mattel, and I already kind of like toured
