The world’s most beloved tenor, Andrea Bocelli will put his signature on the last day of the celebratory Sani Festival on August 20th, 2022, the most anticipated music event of the summer! Recognized as an icon of the greatest Italian vocal tradition, he has managed to bring classical music to the top of the global charts, with albums like Romanza, Sacred Arias, Sì and Believe. His musical prestige is evident in the wealth of awards he has received, among them a Golden Globe. This record-breaking artist has sold out shows all over the world. During his dazzling career he has collaborated with artists including Franco Zeffirelli, Celine Dion, Elton John, Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran. Celine Dion once said, "if God had a singing voice, he must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli". In 2020, at the peak of the pandemic, the Maestro performed “Music For Hope” at the deserted Duomo of Milan, one of the biggest musical live stream performances of all-time. Observing his career in awe, Sani Festival is beyond honored to welcome an artist of that magnitude, in a concert that will mark 30 years of the festival’s history!
