TIZIANO FERRO

Italy's King of Pop

Who is Tiziano Ferro?

Tiziano Ferro (February 21, 1980) is one of the most successful Italian artists of the 21st century, best known internationally for his European hit “Perdono” and his Latin American hit “Tardes Negras”. In Italy his success has been non-stop, reaching new heights with every album. His versatile baritone voice is his most distinct quality, as it’s much heavier, deeper and bombastic than those of other male contemporary pop singers, especially on his later albums. He writes (almost) all of his songs by himself, and they usually deal with the human condition in some way, whether it be love, abandonment, depression, or hope. Musically most of his work is relatively traditional, using real instruments rather than electronic ones and intricate, timeless melodies as opposed to quick catchy tunes. He has explored a wide range of genres, from pure pop to R&B, hip hop, dance, rock, jazz, and swing, from typical Latin balladry to nu metal.

His music has often been a reflection of his personal state of mind, which for most of his career was dark, tortured and fearful. He has long struggled with eating disorders (as a teen he was severely overweight), and he also had a lot of difficulty coming to terms with his sexuality. His escapist nature caused him to isolate himself from his family and friends, living in Mexico for a few years and then England for another five. For years he was very lonely, focused only on his work and nothing else. The ensuing depression nearly killed him. To save himself, he risked his career in 2010 by coming out of the closet, something very difficult to do in Italy, one of the most conservative and homophobic countries in Europe. Fortunately, the people’s love for him has proved strong enough, and he is now more successful and happier than ever.

In short

Tiziano's Bibliography

Tiziano is also a bestselling author. After coming out as gay in 2010, he released the book Trent'anni E Una Chiacchierata Con Papà, a large collection of diaries that he kept since he was a teenager. He did so to help the people understand what he went through, and to stop them from making the same mistakes.

In 2012 he released a short sequel to let people know what the whole process of coming out was like for him, because they kept asking. He has no plans to release more books.

All his music videos are back on YouTube :heart2:, I’m so disappointed all the posts in his base are gone, need to build it up again. Wonder what will happen since he can’t leave California, he’s also in the process of divorce and plus the kids are in his care too, I thought Tiziano and Victor had an amazing relationship, what the f*ck happened? :weeps:

Yes, he had been dealing with it alone for the past year, so it must have been very difficult for him, especially with Victor not being there for him, as he said in his Instagram post that he had been doing it alone and in silence.

Kinda sad for him, I did watch Ferro the other day and they look so good together. I truly hope it is amicable.

Perhaps we'll get to read more lyrical masterpieces from him in the next album.

I thought Victor was the one for him and that he was happy, especially with his children there too, obviously it must have taken a toll on the both of them as with Tiziano touring it would have been difficult for Victor as he’d have been looking after the kids himself.

It’s all over for Tiziano and Victor :weeps:, 4 and a half years of marriage over.

It's going to be really difficult trying to bring the kids back to Meloni's Italia. I feel for the guy.

Mara is a tramp :biblio:, Tiziano was more than grateful to you when you found him and produced his first three albums, he was more than grateful, I'm glad Tiziano called her out, you're the ungrateful cow.

Looking very handsome on this month's Vanity Fair :smitten:

He does talk about his relationship with Victor and how Mara Manoichi said he was ungrateful to her and her husband, he didn't really say much, just tried to stay away from it, he also talked about his divorce and relationship with Victor and said it was beautiful and complicated, he also said he's not looking for a new boyfriend at the moment as he has two kids to look after, he says that Margherita is a cuddler whereas Andres is not, he says Andres is a man's man, if that makes sense, he also forgives Mara for the outburst, then he also talks about his lack of parental rights in Italy, asking why should Victor have power of attorney and be able to take the kids to the hospital and school when Tiziano isn't there. He also says he wouldn't go back to Italy due to LGBTQ+ parenting rights not existing. He's also making a film based on his novel too.
