Sunday with Andrea Bocelli: ‘I only do what I enjoy, which does not include going to the gym’

Sunday morning… I usually wake up around 9am, then head straight out to mass, which starts at 10am. We live by the Tuscan coast in Forte dei Marmi, and our church is only round the corner, so I’ll often walk. Not attending isn’t an option – it’s the day of the Lord.

And afterwards? I get back around midday, then we’ll have lunch as a family. We all follow a strict, healthy diet – even on a Sunday there’s nothing special being served. We are Italians, so there’s pasta, but now it’s made of ancient grains with less gluten. Then I’ll rest, and practise music – studying, singing and playing piano, as I do every day.
