Latina, a little town, approximately 80 km south from Rome. A quiet little town, where time passes by harder than in the big cities. The great salinity in the air is from the sea, which is only 20km far from the town.

The 85.000 inhabitants live far away from the noise and enthusiasm of the tourists that permanently come to Italy. In Latina people know each other and salute like in a little community.

And of course everyone knows the talented Tiziano Ferro. At his 22 years, the charming artist is already surrounded by girls and it's the most "famous" son of the city: his hit Perdono took him up to the highest place in the charts from France and Italy, reason for which his smiling face appears in more and more music magazines and in the TV shows where he is a permanent guest.

Clearly - such a star can't live anywhere else other than a big villa...

But things aren't like this at all: Tiziano lives, like many other youngsters his age, with his family in "Hotel Mama", a perfectly normal home, like all the others on the outskirts. Thoughts of changing his home? NO WAY! "I get along perfectly with my parents. They give me total freedom and encourage me with their trust", says Tiziano smiling "in spite of all that, my mother, Giuliana, is the best cooker in the world: her homemade pizza is absolutely brilliant! How could I move?!"

Tiziano's room is located on the first floor of house, right near his 10 year old brother's room, Flavio. Here's Tiziano's own home studio, the place in which the best R'n'B songs are composed "Although my room is very small, I feel great in it. I have personal memories everywhere I look" he explains. On his wardrobe he has all his plush animals that he got from fans on his concerts, the door is full of pictures of him in along his career (from the beginning up to now). The missing link from the loads of pictures up his door is a girls' picture! "I don't have a girlfriend! says Tiziano, "I am simply too busy and don't have time for such things. I'm permanently busy with my music, with my shows and with my tours. All for achieving my dream: with my music I want to conquer all of Europe!"
