Read more about her dramatic and amazing testimony that transformed her life for eternity. Anna Maria Soprano The woman Anna Maria's is fascinating and inspiring story: from great loss, to even a greater story of her rebirth, redemption and restoration on both a personal and artistic level. All the events of her life molded her into an amazing vibrant woman of strength and gentleness, with a passion and love for life. Like a pearl that is formed and begins to grow. Out of pain and suffering, it forms an object of great beauty. The harmful or invading particle to the oyster actually becomes a gem of great worth. So who is Anna Maria? Anna Maria Soprano (her married last name is Cavicchia) was born Anna Maria Caserta on August 16, 1970 in the North Eastern Italian city of Udine, between the Austrian and Slovenian border, not too far from Venice. Her childhood was quite different from other children, whereas her mother Cecilia is deaf mute and her father hearing impaired. Both her younger brother Antonio and Anna Maria were raised in a loving, but silent household. As a child her father Innocenzo would buy old classical records for her to listen.

After obtaining a divorce remarried in 2005 to a loving husband that had been instrumental in building up her self esteem. Anna Maria's life restoration and redemption process had a pivotal point that same year, when she turned to Yehovah, the Creator of the universe, surrendering to Him her entire life, putting her trust and faith in Him through in His only begotten Son: Messiah Yeshua. Begotten again in the Spirit her life changed forever. The first of a long series of miracle was the birth of her first child, Marc Anthony, at almost the age of 36!
