The story behind
The song La Luna che non c'è is part of Romanza, an album that became a turning point for Andrea Bocelli. Although it is a compilation of songs from his previous works, Il mare calmo della sera (1994) and Bocelli (1995), Romanza was his first release in the United States and Canada, which significantly boosted his profile. This album not only topped the charts in Europe and Latin America but also achieved extraordinary sales, exceeding 20 million copies. This establishes it as the best-selling Italian album and one of the most successful worldwide in languages other than English. The duration of La Luna che non c'è is 4:32.
Andrea Bocelli, born in 1958, is an Italian tenor known for his ability to fuse classical music with pop. Since his victory in the "Newcomers" section of the Sanremo Festival in 1994, he has released a notable discography including thirteen solo studio albums, as well as compilations and operas. His impact on classical music has been considerable, bringing this repertoire to international hit lists. In 1999, his nomination for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards marked a milestone, being the first time in decades that a classical artist was considered in that category. His duet The Prayer with Celine Dion, part of the soundtrack for the film The Quest for Camelot, was awarded a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and received an Academy Award nomination.
