Bocelli and the thieves' blitz in the villa "What a fear to hear them shout at night"

"The fear, of course, was mostly for my loved ones, for now we could not know what would have happened". That of Wednesday night in her villa in Forte dei Marmi is a night that was not the same for Andrea Bocelli. Beyond the happy ending, the flight that remained only in the intentions, of a real danger only addressed, of the conviction that it was a band of improvisers without much experience, the tenor remains an unpleasant sensation on the skin. The house raped, knows who has pbaded, always leaves something bitter on him, an annoying retropensiero, an alert always on the mode

The night

"It was about 2 o'clock – says Andrea Bocelli – I had just returned from Torre del Lago, where I was for rehearsals of the Puccini Festival, and at home there were many people, about twenty people, my children, my wife Veronica and some friends. We heard the vigil screaming that people had entered the annex. "Adds his wife Veronica:" They were two, with ski masks and sticks, they said that they had rifles, but we did not see them, there was a fight with the vigilante, then they escaped, there was an Audi outside and a third person was waiting for them. "One of the private guards was pushed to the ground by a bandit. However, thanks to this, the thieves escaped to give up pursuing their plan. The vigilante attempted a prosecution on foot, but facing the leak in the car could not give up. Two rifle patrols have been on site, but no attempted break-ins have been reported and no major war has been reported.

Tuscan Retreat

For Andrea Bocelli, this nineteenth-century mansion on the seafront of Forte dei Marmi (Lucca) has always been "an oasis of peace", its Tuscan retreat, a magical place and symbolic, with an entire floor dedicated to the recording room, where Ed Sheeran recorded his last video and where they remained friends as Renato Zero and Giorgio Panariello. "It's the first time that such a thing is happening in our house – picks up the tenor, which was included in Hollywood Walk of Fame and who sang in the most important operas of the world, from the Staatsoper Vienna to the Metropolitan New York – but we think it's a naive people who improvised action.This makes us think that everyone knows that our house is always full of In addition, nothing precious can be removed. "In the ideal world, it would be good to be able to leave the door open, in reality, we must thank those who care – privately and in public – our safety: "We must all be careful – reflects Bocelli again. Unfortunately we can not leave the keys outside the door, but I trust people who sometimes put their lives in danger for others. "
