Na poti - Romar na konjskem hrbtu

by Andrea Bocelli, Ana Vogrinčič

Na poti je kronika tritedenskega romanja po starodavni Via Francigena, ki ga je na konjskem hrbtu in v družbi prijateljev opravil svetovno znani tenorist Andrea Bocelli. Dnevnik razkriva dragocene avtorjeve izkušnje z velike romarske poti, ki se imenuje življenje, in bralca opominja k zavedanju o pomenu bistvenih vrednot, ki v hrupu vsakdanjega življenja pogosto ostanejo neopažene: miru, iskrene intimnosti, molitve, družine in dediščine v vsakdanjem življenju. Ob tem pa je bila romarska pot od Rima do družinskega posestva Bocellijev v okolici toskanskega mesta Lajatica, ki jo je pevec opravil v družbi žene Veronice, posuta z biseri italijanske kulture in zgodovine, ki so jih na enkraten način oživljali romarjevi sopotniki, izvrstni glasbeni interpreti iz vseh koncev sveta.

About the author

Andrea Bocelli is an internationally acclaimed Italian tenor known for his exceptional voice and ability to bridge classical and popular music. Despite being born with congenital glaucoma and losing his sight completely at the age of twelve following a football accident, he pursued music with passion and determination. He began piano lessons at six and eventually learned multiple instruments, including the flute, saxophone, and guitar, among others.
Initially studying law at the University of Pisa, Bocelli supported himself by performing in piano bars. His breakthrough came when his demo of “Miserere” caught the attention of both Zucchero Fornaciari and Luciano Pavarotti. This led to collaborations and a successful tour with Zucchero, followed by his win at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1994, which launched his professional singing career.
Bocelli has since released numerous albums, many of which have achieved international success. His 1999 album Sacred Arias became the best-selling classical album by a solo artist, and in 2018, Sì debuted at number one in both the UK and US charts. Known for powerful duets such as “The Prayer” with Céline Dion, Bocelli has worked with a wide range of artists across genres, most recently releasing Duets (30th Anniversary) in 2024, celebrating his career with collaborations including Shania Twain and Karol G.
In recognition of his achievements, Bocelli has received many honors, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the title of Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. In addition to his musical career, he is also a philanthropist and an enthusiastic horseman. He founded the Teatro del Silenzio in his hometown of Lajatico, a venue where he performs annually.
Bocelli was first married to Enrica Cenzatti, with whom he has two sons. He later married Veronica Berti, with whom he has a daughter. Through resilience, talent, and deep emotional expression, Andrea Bocelli has become one of the most beloved tenors in the world.

Vzela v branje predvsem zaradi potopisnega načina pripovedovanja iz Rima v Toskano, vendar je za mojo ateistično dušo mnogo preveč krščansko obarvana.

Ten akapit, w którym Bocelli pisze, że ateista przypomina "znajdę (...) znalezionego w koszu na śmieci, gdzie zmaterializował się przez przypadek"??? Nieładnie jak na osobę głęboko wierzącą, mowiacą jak to trzeba kochać wszystkich bliźnich. Yikes😬

Vsi smo po malem to - romarji; svojim koščkom poti, ki ga moramo vsak dan prehoditi
