Quasi amore

The song Quasi amore by Eros Ramazzotti lasts 5 minutes and 6 seconds. The artist, whose full name is Eros Luciano Walter Ramazzotti, was born in Rome on October 28, 1963. His particular vocal timbre, often described as nasal, has become one of his hallmarks throughout his career. Eros Ramazzotti grew up in the Cinecittà neighborhood in Rome, a place surrounded by film studios. As a child, he even participated as an extra in some films, and it is rumored that he appears in Amarcord by Federico Fellini, a film that won an Oscar in 1973. His father, Rodolfo Ramazzotti, was a painter and in the past also had musical aspirations, even recording two songs.

Before dedicating himself fully to music, Eros studied Accounting for two years and dropped out of the Margarita Bosco school, the same one where footballers like Alessandro Nesta and Francesco Totti would later attend. There was a moment in his adolescence when his family considered emigrating to Australia, and he was taking English classes near Termini station, but the application was rejected.
