La felicità al principio (lit. 'Happiness at the Beginning') is the Italian language debut novel of singer-songwriter Tiziano Ferro, published by Mondadori on 3 October 2023. It tells the story of Angelo Galassi, a former Italian pop star living in obscurity in New York, who must face his personal issues and pull himself together for the sake of his newly discovered young daughter.

Plot

[edit]

Angelo Galassi is a former Italian pop star living quietly in New York. Believed dead by his fans and manager because of a clerical error he chose not to correct, he has been living in obscurity for a decade, struggling with sexual confusion, alcoholism and an eating disorder. But when a troubled ex arrives at his doorstep with a four-year-old daughter he never knew existed, Angelo begins to find new purpose to pull his life back together.[1]

Publication

[edit]

La felicità al principio, Ferro's first novel, was announced in July 2023, and published in Italian by Mondadori on 3 October 2023.[1][2][3][4] Ferro had previously written two autobiographical works, based on his personal diaries and published by Feltrinelli: Trent'anni e una chiacchierata con papà (Thirty Years Old and a Chat with Dad) in October 2010,[5] and L'amore è una cosa semplice (Love Is a Simple Thing) in February 2013.[6][7]

In September 2023, Ferro canceled the Italian promotional tour for the novel, explaining that his pending divorce prevented him from leaving his home in Los Angeles with his children.[8][9][10]
