I want to thank everyone who helped my childhood dreams come true with an unforgettable concert.”

Francisco Negrin said: “Imagine family, friends and thousands of fans coming together to celebrate 30 years of a stellar career. Imagine the world’s brightest stars, on stage under the shining stars of Italy. Imagine the beauty of Tuscany becoming soul-stirring music. Imagine the magic of such a special night!”
