* BlindMusician: He was born with a congenital glaucoma and by the age of 12 went completely blind. Nonetheless this doesn't interfere with his career.


Added DiffLines:

* SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein: "Con te partirò" is otherwise known as "Time to Say Goodbye", as that is the only English line in the verses, and for that matter, the only line English-speakers recognize.
* TruckDriversGearChange: Notably happens in Bocelli's "Con Te Partirò" a shift that usually provokes rapturous applause (see: the concert DVD ''A Night in Tuscany'').
