“Il Regalo Più Grande” from the album Alla Mia Età
A beautiful and epic ballad that was another big hit for Tiziano. The song has a very long history, as it took him three years to write it. Here are a few diary entries where he mentions the song, along with the song translation.

New interview with the website of the Verona Arena.
“The Verona Arena can’t scare me. Not even for three nights in a row.”
Three consecutive sold-out concerts at the Arena. Like Pink Floyd, Zucchero and Laura Pausini (not to mention the “residence” of Ligabue). “I’m in good company, no?” Tiziano Ferro asks in a satisfied manner, before the three...

A few more diary translations from 2005, they’re a sort of sequel to these, dealing with his inner struggle.
July 7th 2005
I don’t even remember what day of the week it is, overwhelmed by the frenetic pace of this tour that, while beautiful and exciting, is really putting a strain on my psychophysical balance (already unstable by nature!!!).
From Panama City we go to San Salvador,...

Here is a very long English/German interview with Tiziano and Cassandra Steen. As usual he is funny and charming, and she is really sweet as well. Always great to hear him speak English. I’ve put it on youtube too (Part 1, Part 2).
Go here to listen to their single “Liebe ist einfach / L’amore è una cosa semplice” in full. It’s pretty nice!

Some diary translations from 2007. Life in England!
April 1st 2007
I’ve lived for almost two years in this apartment and the news of the week is that I’ve decided to buy it. I spoke with the owner, we’re still discussing the price but it shouldn’t exceed 200,000 pounds, furniture included: perfect. I’m really happy because I’m very fond of this house....

Seems EMI is trying to expand Tiziano’s...
To the anons in my inbox:
Yes if you see anything wrong in any of the translations please tell me, I am a perfectionist so I’m always happy to correct a mistake.
No I don’t have any magazine scans unfortunately, I only see what’s published online. The coming out interview was reprinted in his second book, that was actually the first time I ever read it in full.
And thanks to...

This is a fantastic article/interview. Although I feel a bit sad for him and his boyfriend. But whatever works for them!
The new Tiziano Ferro. A beautiful life when you have nothing more to hide.
“Everything began here, on Via Pestalozzi 4. My first time in Milan was inside these walls.” Those of Jungle Sound, the studio rehearsal room where Tiziano Ferro and his band are preparing...

Translation of this live blog of the concert:
21:38 Let the show begin. An extended stage and a square runway ahead. A simple stage, essential, as he told Sorrisi. We’ll see what happens. It starts off with a heartbeat and a light on the center stage. Descending from the sky is a cube that should contain only him. Once he’s down, he sings “L’amore è una cosa...

Tiziano answered some fans’ questions for Glamour magazine:
You’ve named an album and a book L’amore è una cosa semplice: but is it really? Love comes from a pure, spontaneous need, it’s like hunger and thirst. And a person’s heart has a need to nourish, to feel complete. In short: the essence of love is simple. Unfortunately, we complicate everything.
When you...
