The Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF) was born in July 2011 by the will of Maestro Bocelli and of his family to give back a bit of that affection and closeness that they had received in the course of his career traveling across the world. Believing that union is strength and that alone you can do a lot, but that together a lot more can be done, it was natural to turn this idea into a structured approach, creating an Institution that could, this way, channel all these forces and turn them into a concrete help towards the others.

Break the Barriers Program
“Break the Barriers” – FIGHTING POVERTY operates to support and promote projects that help the weaker classes of the population in Italy and in Developing Countries in which conditions of poverty, illnesses, malnutrition and complex social situations nullify or reduce their expectations of life.
The Foundation aims at promoting intervention in favour of health, education and social integration and wants to do so by measuring, as far as possible, the effects of its intervention with the objective of constant improvement.
