On June 24th, in Rome Tiziano Ferro will offer a concert in Rome.

Why to write a post about a Italian singer as Tiziano Ferro? Simple, because he is one of the better-known Italian singers worldwide, specially in Europe and South America.

There was a time when Tiziano, now a handsome young man, was a shy, fat teenager who decided to dedicate himself to music in order to mitigate his problems of self esteem ; in fact his first album 111 took its title from his weight in kilos during those years.

Maybe it was for his huge weight, maybe it was for his shyness, maybe it was for his introspection but the Tiziano’s songs stick instantly to your mind and before you know it you are humming the melody.

In the hotel where I work many clients asked about a beautiful song they hear in the streets of Rome. If you want to know why all those people found the song so remarkable, take a look at the video on this post. The song was Universal Prayer, and on it Tiziano teams with the singer  Jamelia.

What do you think now?

I’d like to share with you other details about Tiziano’s career.

Tiziano’s road to success hasn’t been simple at all.

He started studying guitar and violin, and later on he began to write songs hoping to become known at least in Italy. Then he tried to participate in the San Remo festival with the song You ‘ll be back but he didn’t pass the first selection.

It’s only in 2001 that Tiziano releases with EMI his first album Rosso Relativo which had a big success in Italy. Under the name of Relative Red the album was released too in the USA.

The international success of Tiziano it’s due in part to his ability to sing in several languages as Italian, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese.

In June 2006 a new important album comes out  Nessuno è solo, Nobody is alone which is released in 44 countries. In 2008 Tiziano wrote a song for Giusy Ferreri a girl who take part in X factor, the Italian answer to American Idol in USA and Pop Idol In Uk.

Ferro’s last album On my age comes out at the same time in 42 countries.

Finally i would like you to see Tiziano singing with Kelly Rowland the song Breath gentle.

The concert will take place in the Olimpic Stadium, in Rome. To get there, take the red subway line and get off at Ottaviano Station, and then take the bus 32. Both Hotel Des Artistes and Yes Hotel, are located in the station area, so they’re great options to look for a convenient accomodation!
