psychologically. There have been, and still are, so
many cases. Seeing our streets and monuments
deserted, feeling the fear and every day praying
that the number of victims and those infected
decreases has been and still is a great trauma. But
we Italians, in times of need, know how to stand up
and how to be united, and even if politics is not
helping us at the moment, I am convinced that we
will come out of this.

And how did you experience all this?
"Very badly. First of all, I thought about my family,
which lives far away from Milan, where I reside, and
then the bitterness because, in addition to all the
other projects, I had to stop the promotion of my
previous album LUCES and all the plans I had for
Latin America. I had been working for years on a
tour that I had to cancel, and especially for me, who
travels all the time for work, finding myself stuck at
home was destabilising. My life is a journey, the
things I write and the choices I make are often
made on planes, between concerts and promo-
tions. For months I forced myself to spend time
writing new things, but obviously not having any
stimulation I couldn't do it. It was dangerous. But
then I got unstuck and I'm so happy that I now have
so much new music that I can't wait to release".
Over the years you have worked with some of
the world's most important music producers. If
you could pick a few names for a dream collab-
oration or duet?
"Britney Spears has always been my myth, as well
as Jennifer Lopez, who I love for her dedication to
work and perseverance, and of course Alejandro
Sanz. As for the others, Julio Reyes is definitely a
producer I hope to work with very soon."
In your music there is a lot of you, of your
experiences, and in what you see in the
previous video clips the "change" is really a
point of conjunction between all of them, as well
as a constant search and attention to detail.
What's next? What will be the new Osvaldo?
"Now I feel like dancing again!"

I read that you sometimes call your fans on the
phone. Is that true?
"Yes, of course, although after a few little problems
I've learned to count the time difference exactly.
Once I called a fan in Argentina thinking it was 8pm.
But it was 3am and I woke him up!"
And how do you get on in the kitchen?
"I love to cook and as an Italian it's a skill I aim for
a lot!" (laughs) "It's my biggest hobby, as well as my
way of pampering those around me."
Last curiosity. Love?
"Love is there and it doesn't have to be only in a
partner. It may sound obvious but love is within us
and we have to learn to recognise it, to cultivate it,
even if no one ever teaches us how to do it. "
