Eros Ramazzotti
from husband Bill, Oct. 11, 2026
I just remembered. Two days and 10 years ago, on October 9, 2016, my wife, her sister, and I attended a fantastic concert -- Italian pop singer Eros Ramazzotti -- at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida.
I am a huge fan. He is absolutely my favorite Italian singer. I have been a fan of Ramazzotti since the early 1990s, when I purchased one of his CDs at the annual festival (feast) of my Italian grandmother's church on Long Island, New York.
I have many of his CDs and one of his DVDs. He releases all of his CDs in Italian and Spanish. Being half Italian, I only have his Italian CDs. At my request, the DJ played this Ramazzotti song -- "Fuoco Nel Fuoco" (link below) -- at our wedding reception in February 2006.
Also, I had the good fortune of attending his concert at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on October 9, 2016, with my wife and her sister. I was surprised that he sang every song in Italian, except for half a song in Spanish.
I really love this song and its music video from the year 2000. The title translates from Italian to English as "Fire Within a Fire." This is my favorite Ramazzotti song. (He writes all of his songs, too, and has recorded duets with such singers as Cher, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Ricky Martin, Luciano Pararotti, ... .)
