In October, the Bocellis opened up to PEOPLE about the album and the holidays.
“We really wanted to make an album that truly reflected us, to recreate amood, that magical state of mind that Holy Christmas is able to instill in us,” explained Andrea, who’s also dad to son Amos, 27, an engineer and musician who contributed his piano skills to the record. “I hope that the serenity and joy that constantly marked each moment of our work together comes through in every note sung.”
Matteo began performing alongside his father in 2016, but Virginia — who’s been singing since before she could speak — only made her public musical debut last year. Initially, she felt scared at the prospect of singing for large audiences. But thanks to advice from the seasoned musicians in her family, she’s continuously growing more confident in her abilities.
“My dad taught me how to use my voice, and that influenced my life,” Virginia said. “And Matteo told me, ‘You should sing and do everything with no regret.'”
