There was alot written about Veronica when she was first introduced to the public around 2003. She and Andrea gave several interviews about their relationship, and the articles were posted on www. bocelli.de. But they might have been taken down by now.
From what I remember.....
Yes, her name is Veronica Berti. I believe she would be about 25 yrs old right now. Andrea met her at a party in Bologna. A party that she or he (can't remember exactly which one) was not even suppose to go to! She was 21 yrs old when he met her, and they have been together ever since. I read she was going to the university at the time, (I think her major was Communications but I could be wrong on that).
In an interview, Andrea said that he was concerned about their age difference at first, and thought much about the "appropiateness" of it. Andrea said that love won out. Andrea also said that he thought she was in her 30's because of her maturity, and was surprized to learn she was only 21 years old. Also in an article, it was told that Veronica knows very, very much about opera as her father was connect to opera in some way while she was growing up. So she was raised around opera. So in that respect, she is a perfect fit for Andrea. There was something written about how her father use to wake her up on the mornnings singing an opera aria.
In these articles, you can tell how much she loves Andrea. She really loves him alot. She also loves his kids and get on with them well. Andrea saids that they have similar tastes in the arts too. Veronica mentioned in an article about some of the literature Andrea has recommened to her and how much she learns from his suggestions.
Since all that I have written was from articles that were posted on bocelli.de, I am sure it is okay to answer a forum member's questions about Veronica. I'd be very surprised if Andrea or Veronica took issue with what I have written. I don't feel I am invading their privacy by writing this since they disclosed this info on their own. It was their intention from the interviews granted back in 2003, to introduce Veronica. I don't think we should dwell on her, but she is a part of Andrea's life.
