Tiziano Ferro ({{IPA|it|titˈtsjaːno ˈfɛrro|lang}}; born 21 February 1980) is an Italian pop singer and songwriter.{{cite web |url=http://www.tizianoferro.com/eng/#section_12 |title=Tiziano Ferro biography |author= |website=Tiziano Ferro Official Site |access-date=25 October 2016 |archive-date=7 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180507132932/http://www.tizianoferro.com/eng/#section_12 |url-status=dead }} He broke through in 2001 with his international hit single "Perdono" and has remained commercially successful since then, in several countries. Ferro has released a Spanish version of each of his albums and has also sung in English, Portuguese, and French. Known as the modern face of Italian pop music, he frequently writes songs for other artists and has produced albums for Giusy Ferreri, Alessandra Amoroso, and Baby K.
Aside from his success as an artist, Ferro is well known for his personal struggles. Having been overweight as a teenager, he has been outspoken about his battles with food addiction and eating disorders. In October 2010, at the height of his fame, Ferro came out as gay, having himself struggled with depression related to self-acceptance about his homosexuality.
Ferro is currently one of the best-selling artists in Italy. Both his third album Nessuno è solo and fourth album Alla mia età were certified diamond by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana. Despite his fears, his coming out did not negatively affect his career, as his fifth album L'amore è una cosa semplice was the best-selling album of 2012 in Italy, and his first greatest hits album was supported by a stadium tour. As of 2023, Ferro has sold over 20 million records worldwide.{{Cite web|url=https://eurovisionfun.com/en/2023/12/italy-tiziano-ferro-supports-alessandra-amoroso-for-sanremo-2024/|title=Italy: Tiziano Ferro supports Alessandra Amoroso for Sanremo 2024!|first=Giannis|last=Argyriou|website=Eurovision Fun|date=8 December 2023|access-date=17 April 2024}}

In 1997, Ferro participated in the "Accademia della Canzone di Sanremo", a music contest created with the purpose to choose the contestants for the Sanremo Music Festival, but was eliminated during the first stage of the competition.

Personal life
In 2006, Ferro appeared on the Italian TV show Che Tempo fai and joked that Mexican women "all had mustaches", which invited backlash from Mexican fans and negatively impacted subsequent album sales there.{{cite web |title=Tizziano Ferro, inmerso en un escándalo por asegurar que las mexicanas tienen bigote |url=https://www.20minutos.es/noticia/124342/0/Tizziano/Ferro/bigotes/ |website=20 Minutos |date=26 May 2006 |access-date=3 February 2024}}{{cite web |title=Cuando Tiziano Ferro hizo comentarios despectivos sobre las Mujeres Mexicanas |url=https://enblancoynegro.com.mx/2023/08/07/cuando-tiziano-ferro-hizo-comentarios-despectivos-sobre-las-mujeres-mexicanas/ |website=En Blanco Y Negro |date=7 August 2023 |access-date=3 February 2024}}
Ferro was diagnosed with depression in 2008 and started taking antidepressants. In late 2009, he came close to taking his own life, going as far as to write a suicide note.{{Cite web | url = http://www.gaywave.it/articolo/tiziano-ferro-pensava-al-suicidio/23801/ | publisher = Gay Wave | language = it | access-date = 18 July 2013 | title = Tiziano Ferro pensava al suicidio | date = 25 October 2010 | archive-date = 2 December 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121202232245/http://www.gaywave.it/articolo/tiziano-ferro-pensava-al-suicidio/23801/ | url-status = dead }} In early 2010 his desperation led him to break down and came out to his father, an event that inspired the title of his first book, Trent'anni e una chiacchierata con papà (Thirty years old and a chat with dad). This book, published in October 2010, is based on his personal diaries, dutifully kept since his teenage years.{{Cite news |url=http://www.repubblica.it/persone/2010/10/05/news/tiziano_ferro-7752713/?ref=HRESS-1 |trans-title=Ferro: I'm gay and I have the freedom to say so |title=Ferro: Sono omosessuale e ho la libertà di poterlo dire |last=Castaldo |first=Gino |date=5 October 2010 |publisher=La Repubblica |language=it |access-date=6 October 2010 |archive-date=12 September 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120912142111/http://www.repubblica.it/persone/2010/10/05/news/tiziano_ferro-7752713/?ref=HRESS-1 |url-status=live }} Its release was preceded by an interview with Vanity Fair in which he came out as gay.{{Cite web | url = http://www.style.it/vanitypeople/show/musica/2010/10/05/tiziano-ferro.aspx | publisher = Style.it | language = it | access-date = 18 July 2013 | title = Tiziano Ferro: "Mi voglio innamorare (di un uomo)" | date = 5 October 2010 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150924121405/http://www.style.it/vanitypeople/show/musica/2010/10/05/tiziano-ferro.aspx | archive-date = 24 September 2015 | df = dmy-all }} The following year Ferro moved back to Italy to live closer to his friends and family.{{Cite web | url = http://www.lastampa.it/2012/02/21/spettacoli/tiziano-ferro-alla-mia-etanon-ho-piu-paura-di-essere-felice-p0eXGHEdQ1YXw0zi1twIgM/pagina.html | publisher = La Stampa | language = it | access-date = 18 July 2013 | title = Tiziano Ferro: "Alla mia età non ho più paura di essere felice" | date = 21 February 2012 | archive-date = 2 April 2015 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150402094625/http://www.lastampa.it/2012/02/21/spettacoli/tiziano-ferro-alla-mia-etanon-ho-piu-paura-di-essere-felice-p0eXGHEdQ1YXw0zi1twIgM/pagina.html | url-status = live }} Ferro released a second autobiographical book, L'amore è una cosa semplice (Love is a simple thing), in February 2013.{{cite web|url=https://www.unilibro.it/libro/ferro-tiziano/l-amore-e-una-cosa-semplice/9788807880100|title=L'amore è una cosa semplice – Tiziano Ferro|trans-title=Love is a Simple Thing – Tiziano Ferro|website=Libreria Universitaria|via=Unilibro.it|language=it|access-date=2 October 2023|archive-date=3 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231003060713/https://www.unilibro.it/libro/ferro-tiziano/l-amore-e-una-cosa-semplice/9788807880100|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.feltrinellieditore.it/opera/lamore-e-una-cosa-semplice-1/|title=L'amore è una cosa semplice – Tiziano Ferro|trans-title=Love is a Simple Thing – Tiziano Ferro|website=Feltrinelli|language=it|access-date=2 October 2023|archive-date=2 October 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231002225722/https://www.feltrinellieditore.it/opera/lamore-e-una-cosa-semplice-1/|url-status=live}}
