However, the conversation took a lighthearted turn when Matteo recalled a funny moment that happened after the performance at Viña del Mar. As Andrea and Matteo took the stage, the audience was so taken by the Bocelli duo that they affectionately started calling Andrea “Suegro”, which translates to “father-in-law” in Spanish.

Matteo shared how his father, known for his calm and composed demeanor, reacted to the nickname with a mix of confusion and amusement.

“When they started calling my dad ‘Suegro,’ he looked at me in surprise and said, ‘What is this? Why are they calling me that?’ It took him a moment to realize what was happening, but then he laughed it off,” Matteo chuckled. “It’s always funny when the fans start giving my dad these affectionate names. I think he was just honored by the love they were showing him.”

The Love from Chilean Fans

The nickname “Suegro” is just one example of the deep affection and admiration the Chilean fans have for the Bocelli family. Andrea, in particular, has long been an international icon, and the response from the Viña del Mar audience showed how much they adore not only his music but also his presence.

• “Chile has always been kind to my father. To see them call him ‘Suegro’ was something unexpected, but also very heartwarming,” Matteo continued.
