A singer who proved that even a seemingly ordinary guy from the suburbs of Rome can conquer the world – without scandals, artificial fads or bizarre outfits. 28 October 2025 is celebrating 62 years, but if you saw him on stage, you wouldn’t believe it. Still energetic, still charismatic, still Eros.
Another surprising piece of information for his fans may be the fact that their charismatic idol is even a grandfather. And he loves this role in his life! Despite this, his most stable love continues to be music. Italian music legend Ramazzotti has just announced his spectacular world tour, which will begin on February 14, 2026 in Paris and will bring a series of concerts in more than 30 countries around the world. The tour will also include a concert in Bratislava, where Eros will perform again after years with his biggest hits and new releases from the upcoming album “Una Storia Importante”, which will be released on November 21, 2025. But let’s get things in order. How did this success story of the Italian legend even begin?
From a boy from the suburbs of Rome to a world icon
Eros Walter Luciano Ramazzotti was born in 1963 in Rome’s Cinecittà district – and although it sounds like a scene from a movie, his beginnings were anything but Hollywood. Father is a painter, mother is a seamstress, a lot of work, little money. Eros originally wanted to go to a music conservatory, but he didn’t pass the entrance exams. That might break someone else forever and give up on their dream, but not him. Eros felt even more motivated to work on himself.
He started writing his own songs, tried his luck at various music competitions, but in 1984 came the first big turning point: the Sanremo Festival. Song Promised land has literally become the coveted ticket to the world of music. A year later he was already singing An important story and Italy suddenly had a new pet.
When in 1986 at the same festival he won with a song Now youit was clear that Ramazzotti had become a star. And at that time, no one knew that his songs would be sung from Buenos Aires to Bucharest in a few years.
Hit after hit, duet after duet
Eros gained world fame in the 1990s. Beautiful and charismatic Ramazzotti – a romantic with a guitar stole the hearts of girls and women all over the world. He often recorded his songs in Spanish and therefore also broke through in Latin America. But the rest of the world loved his Italian, and through his music as a universal language, everyone knew what he was singing about. About love. And his duets! Just mention names like Tina Turner, Cher, Anastacia or Laura Pausini and it is clear that Eros has always played in the first league. Together with Tina Turner, they recorded the legendary version Cose della vita (Can’t Stop Thinking of You) – a song that never got old.
Among his greatest hits are Another you, As much as you can, Music it is whether If a song were enough. If you grew up in the 90s, some of them must have started ringing in your head.
Eros Ramazzotti is not only a performer, but also a brand – he has released more than 15 studio albums, of which he has sold more than 60 million copies. During his career, he often collaborated with fashion brands such as Diesel, Emporio Armani and Valentino.
A romantic, a father, a grandfather… and still an idol
Although Eros sings about love, in his personal life he sometimes had it like in a soap opera. His first great love and wife was the Swiss presenter Michelle Hunziker, with whom he has a daughter, Aurora. Their breakup in 2002 was a big event and closely followed.
Then came model Marica Pellegrinelli, with whom Eros has two children. This marital relationship also ended years later, but they remained good friends. Today he is also a proud grandfather, his daughter Aurora gave birth to his grandson Cesare in 2023. Eros does not hide the fact that the birth of his grandson really took him to heart.
What about his love now? The media recently linked him with businesswoman Dalila Gelsomino, but according to Italian magazines that still like to follow Eros, this relationship never took off. In short, his most serious and stable relationship is currently with music.
Privacy without scandals
Unlike many stars of his stature, Ramazzotti never needed a tabloid to be interesting. His relationships, marriages and two divorces were closely followed by the media, but Eros always acted with nobility.
